http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-08may07.htm
8 May 2007

As part of an ongoing interest in continuous improvement, ICANN is 
seeking community feedback about its performance.

All responses are welcome. Targeted comments regarding several areas of 
performance, which have been drawn from the ICANN Strategic Plan, are of 
particular interest:

    * Is ICANN becoming more transparent, accessible and accountable? 
What improvements have been observed and what still needs to be done?
    * Has ICANN improved its operational performance? What improvements 
have been observed and what still needs to be done?
    * Has ICANN improved its performance in the development of Policy? 
What improvements have been observed and what still needs to be done?
    * Has ICANN increased international participation? What 
improvements have been observed and what still needs to be done?
    * Have there been improvements in participation and in efficiency 
of the ICANN multi-stakeholder model? What more needs to be done?
    * What plans and actions have been observed that position ICANN for 
more comprehensive transition of the technical coordination of the 
Internet’s system of unique identifiers. What more needs to be done?
    * What improvements have been made in dispute resolution and the 
application of fairness and equity in the management of complaints and 
other mechanisms of review that are available? These include the work of 
the reconsideration committee, the Ombudsman and independent review.

Comments will be received at 
http://forum.icann.org/lists/performance-2007/ until June 5, 2007 and 
should be sent to: [log in to unmask]

A discussion will also take place on ICANN's Blog 
<http://blog.icann.org> commencing today. ICANN's public participation 
site <http://public.icann.org> will also serve as a tool for 
participation in this dialogue.
