At the Midterm Review of the Joint Project Agreement (JPA) between
ICANN and the US Department of Commerce, in February 2008, ICANN's
chairman announced a broad public consultation over possible changes to
the organization. <br><br>ICANN's President's Strategy Committee (PSC) then prepared two documents - an <i><a href="http://www.icann.org/en/jpa/iic/improving-confidence-revised.htm" target="_blank">Improving Institutional Confidence in ICANN</a></i> document, and a <i><a href="http://www.icann.org/en/jpa/iic/action-plan-revised.htm" target="_blank">Transition Action Plan</a></i>
- using comments made to the Midterm Review and its previous work to
help set out the requirements of a post-JPA ICANN and the steps needed
to consult the community. <br><br>In those documents, five key areas
were identified, and each of those areas was broken down into
constituent parts in order to identify particular discussion points,
focus debate, and produce specific steps forward. <br><br>This
discussion space has therefore been divided up into those five areas,
and if you click on them, underneath are the specific points raised in
the Action Plan. <br><br>You can jump straight into the debate by
selecting one of the folders below, and from there head into the
details. If you register with this forum, you may also set up new areas
for discussion, the hope being that this space will expand to fit
requirements. <br><br>If you have any queries or questions, please
email us at <a href="mailto:iic@icann.org">iic@icann.org</a>, and we will try to help you out. This
consultation also has a series of dedicated webpages on the ICANN main
website. Please visit <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/jpa/iic/index.htm" target="_blank">icann.org/jpa/iic/</a> for full information.<br>
