<p class=MsoPlainText>'Dashboard' Allows Window into ICANN Performance<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>11 January 2008<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: The Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers today released the first version of a new
'Dashboard' that will offer measurements of ICANN's performance in numerous
areas across the organization.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>"At this stage the ‘Dashboard’ has
reports from Finance, IANA, and IETF request queue. We are looking for
community feedback on this tool and will expand the reports available over
time," said Dr Paul Twomey, ICANN's President and CEO.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The 'Dashboard' is the result of a substantial effort
within ICANN to define measurable results, establish repeatable processes for
collecting data, and to select and install software.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>"This is about continuous improvement, transparency,
and accountability to our community," Dr Twomey added.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Members of the public are invited to test drive the
'Dashboard' at <a href="http://www.icann.org/idashboard/public/">http://www.icann.org/idashboard/public/</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
