ICANN Board's Reform Plan Has Serious Flaws - Today, as expected, the Directors of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved its "Blueprint for Reform" without amendment in Bucharest, Romania. While an improvement on earlier drafts, the current blueprint fails in a number of key areas and is unlikely to promote broader trust in ICANN. In particular, the Blueprint fails to make real progress on critically-important issues such as the lack of limits on ICANN's powers, the basic unaccountability of ICANN for the important decisions it makes, and the lack of real representation of the public interest in the ICANN process. ICANN is the non-profit body that manages critical Internet systems such as the Domain Name System and the IP address hierarchy. June 28, 2002
