> Review Panel, with a focus on effectiveness, efficiency, ease of

> enhancing ICANN's accountability to the community and the global  
> public interest. Prior to issuing the report, the ASEP has  
> maintained an open comment period and interacted with the community  
> at ICANN's public meeting in Toronto.

> In the event that the ASEP's recommendations are accepted by the
