> "ARTICLE III: TRANSPARENCY
>
> Section 1. PURPOSE
> ICANN and its constituent bodies shall operate to the maximum extent
> feasible in an open and transparent manner and consistent with procedures
> designed to ensure fairness.
>

> ICANN shall maintain a publicly-accessible Internet World Wide Web site
> (the "Website"), which may include, among other things,
>
> (i) a calendar of scheduled meetings of the Board, Supporting
> Organizations, and Advisory Committees;
>
> (ii) a docket of all pending policy development matters, including their
> schedule and current status;
>
> (iii) specific meeting notices and agendas as described below;
>
>  (iv) information on ICANN's budget, annual audit, financial contributors
> and the amount of their contributions, and related matters;
>

> including reconsideration, independent review, and Ombudsman activities, as
> well as information about the outcome of specific requests and complaints
> invoking these mechanisms;
