>> Please find attached here policies which relate to staff's
accountability.  These will be posted shortly on ICANN.org for broader
community access.
>> 
>> These policies are:
>> .         Anonymous Hotline
>> .         Confidentiality
>> .         Conflict of Interest
>> .         Employee Conduct & Work Rules
>> .         Equal Employment

>> The ICANN CEO is responsible at the overall level for the ICANN
organization staff member's accountability, as noted in prior responses as
well. In relation to staff accountability, there are many ways that ICANN
holds staff accountable to these employment policies. Adherence to these
policies is a fundamental expectation underlying the work of every ICANN
Organization Staff member.
>> 
>> As to adherence, ICANN Organization's management, led by the CEO, is
responsible for managing all staff members' adherence to policies.  The
policies themselves set out reporting chains, and investigatory processes
that are each followed.  There are multiple ways to ensure adherence and it
is through the management chain, and well-established Human Resource
practices, that potential violations from the policies are reported and
investigated.  The Complaints Officer, once established, could serve an
important role in identifying violations of employment policies.  Under
ICANN's new Bylaws, the community's ability to directly hold staff
accountable are also enhanced, through the availability of a broadened IRP
and Reconsideration.  While the Office of the Ombudsman does not have
jurisdiction over HR matters, community complaints of unfairness of staff
members can be taken to the Ombudsman.
>> 
>> In addition, as the policies also identify issues that could result in
violations of laws, the applicable legal systems and California Attorney
General also could reach ICANN organization staff member conduct.  ICANN is
governed by California laws and regulations, U.S. Federal laws and
regulations (including laws related to ICANN's tax exempt status), law and
regulations of other places that it has employees, and is guided by best
practices under those schemes.
>> 
>> All staff members are regularly informed of staff policies through the
annual confirmation process, training programs and intranet blogs, as well
as at any point when an issue or question is raised that addresses one of
the policies. Employment policies are always available to staff through
ICANN's intranet.
>> 
>> We hope the information is helpful. The point person for future questions
on human resources is Diane Schroeder, who is happy to participate on
sub-group team calls if requested.
