Source: www.domainnews.com In recent years, ICANN has taken many steps to improve transparency and accountability in its operations. Most notably, a detailed budget process and disclosure process has been developed (see: http://www.icann.org/en/financials/proposed-opplan-budget-v1-fy09-17may08-en.pdf (http://www.icann.org/en/financials/proposed-opplan-budget-v1-fy09-17may08-en.pdf) [PDF, 355K] for the most recent detailed budget).About one year ago, ICANN began reporting metrics for each month to the public website on a dashboard (http://forms.icann.org/idashboard/public/) . Over that period, ICANN has published monthly financial information (both revenue and expense) and IANA metrics on queue times for request processing.
