<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

report</a> [PDF, 286 KB] with recommendations and conclusions based on their
independent research and interviews conducted. The draft report has been
received by the ICANN Board's Structural Improvements Committee (SIC). The
draft report is now released for consultation and public comment. Comments
received will be taken into account by the independent external reviewers in
producing their final report, which will then be considered by the SIC and
subsequently by the ICANN Board for potential actions to take.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
