TLG Review – Final Report

Open: 10 December 2010
Closed: 24 January 2011

Explanation/Background: ICANN continues its work to conduct bylaw mandated organizational reviews to provide for continual improvement in its technical coordination and policy development support roles.

In August 2010, ICANN appointed JAS Communications LLC to carry out an independent, external review of ICANN's Technical Liaison Group (TLG).

JAS Communications LLC delivered their draft report [PDF, 286 KB] with recommendations and conclusions based on their independent research and interviews conducted. The draft report was received by the ICANN Board's Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) and released for consultation and public comment on 23 October 2010. Comments received were taken into account by the independent external reviewers and incorporated into JAS Communications LLC's final report.

The independent external reviewers now issue their final report [PDF, 452 KB] for public comment. The community is invited to participate in this comment forum by 24 January 2010 and to provide input on the final report via tlg-final-report@icann.org. The final report shall then be considered by the SIC and subsequently submitted to the ICANN Board for consideration.
