</div>
<div>Please see the attached mail, related to a session at ICANN
60 on measures to enhance transparency, in particular through
document management and steps to impact the accessibility of
online materials. Oversight through this process is very
important, especially if we want to see a system that suits
the needs of researchers and advocates who are monitoring
ICANN's work. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am definitely planning to attend - I hope to see you
there.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px"><span
style="font-size:11pt">As you know, the Board recently
approved the Information Transparency Initiative (ITI),
which is a two-year project to rebuild the technical
infrastructure of the way we manage ICANN’s information
and content with a first-ever for ICANN dedicated
document management system (DMS) to manage our
information and a new content management system (CMS) to
make that information available. We’ll use this new
technical infrastructure to enforce governance of our
content through consistent workflows and tagging, making
use of a taxonomy we’re developing for the first time.
One of the primary reasons we’re doing this is to help
our stakeholders find the content they are looking for
(which we know is a challenge on the current site), and
to help us meet our accountability and transparency
obligations. While our project goals are narrow
(improving findability in all U.N. six languages,
enforcing content governance, and rebuilding
infrastructure), think of this work as foundational that
will set the stage for the entire ICANN information
ecosystem. To try to bring benefits to the community as
soon as possible, the community-observable part of the
project starts first with <a href="http://icann.org/"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">icann.org</a>, <a
href="http://meetings.icann.org/" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">meetings.icann<wbr>.org</a>,
and 13 other external websites. Once this work is
complete, this foundational technical infrastructure and
system-wide governance and taxonomy, will serve our
SO/AC and remaining sites.</span></p>

right, but we know you may not have time to attend this
ICANN60 session. Because of this, we’re looking to
schedule individual telephone interviews with you after
ICANN60. These interviews are intended to gather some
initial thoughts, feedback, current pain points with the
site, and ideally, what you think would help make the <a

ICANN’s content governance processes better. We’ll send
out emails after ICANN60 to arrange a time that best
