This magazine will help that understanding“ said Paul Levins, ICANN’s Executive Officer and Vice-President Corporate Affairs . "This is the latest in series of improvements to accountability and transparency at ICANN. Some of these changes include improved Board reporting, a blog, an annual report, an improved website, a public participation site and extensive consultation on our budget and strategic and operating plans.” Levins said
