> and refinements to ICANN's Reconsideration Process and Independent
> Review Panel, with a focus on effectiveness, efficiency, ease of
> access and expeditious resolution, as well as maintaining and
> enhancing ICANN's accountability to the community and the global
> public interest. Prior to issuing the report, the ASEP has
> maintained an open comment period and interacted with the community
> at ICANN's public meeting in Toronto.
>
> In the event that the ASEP's recommendations are accepted by the
> Board, the ICANN Bylaws will have to be amended to give effect to
> the recommendations. To that end, proposed Bylaws amendments are
> also provide for community review and comment.
