Original Public Comment: Proposed Revisions to the ICANN Documentary Information Disclosure Policy
1. Please provide your input on the proposed updates to the Documentary Information Disclosure Policy (DIDP) to incorporate the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability Work Stream 2 (WS2) recommendations.

See attached PDF.

2. In light of the WS2 request for a specific analysis of the expansion of the Ombuds’ role into the DIDP process, as it would represent a new non-complaints responsibility, please provide your inputs on some or all of the five criteria identified in WS2 Recommendation 5.11.

See attached PDF.

3. Given that the ICANN Complaints Officer does not currently have a process or mandate to initiate their own appeals or reviews of ICANN org action, please provide any inputs for ICANN to consider on the proposed expansion of the role for the Complaints Office.

See attached PDF.
