About Reviews
Reviews are mandated by the ICANN Bylaws and are crucial to the legitimacy and accountability of ICANN. Reviews serve as ICANN‘s progress report to the world; they demonstrate how ICANN delivers on its commitments and identifies areas where ICANN
can improve. Specific Reviews are conducted by members of the
stakeholder community who look at past processes, actions, and outcomes
in order to make recommendations to improve future performance.
