I ask you; do you agree or not that ICANN should uphold these 
transparency standards that are upheld by public bodies?

There are two complementary avenues for pursuing what should be ICANN’s 
commitment to transparency, and discussion should proceed on both fronts.

One is try to distill a scope and depth of transparency from ICANN’s 
mission and vision. That includes considerations of what concepts like 
“in the public good”, “in the public interest” and “public governance” 
direct us (the multistakeholder community within ICANN) to consider in 
the establishment of a standard of transparency to which ICANN should 
aspire.

The other avenue is to identify concrete and existing examples of a lack 
of transparency within the current operations of ICANN (e.g. lobbying 
contracts, “service” contracts, etc.) and build a remedial framework of 
transparency practice within ICANN.

Discussion should proceed on both fronts.
