3.6 Other Mechanisms to Ensure the Public's Voice in ICANN

The ALM and the AL Directors are only one method-though an essential one-for enhancing ICANN's legitimacy and stability. A well-functioning ALM alone is not sufficient to ensure legitimacy. Below we outline a series of other reforms to be enacted in parallel to the changes outlined for the ALM, including:

Structural Constraints on ICANN's Authority - Limitations on the scope of the ICANN Board's mission and powers, including bylaws and charter changes, explicit statements of user rights, and internal checks and balances within ICANN.
Accountability Mechanisms - Suggested mechanisms, external to the ALM, for improving the accountability and transparency of the ICANN Board.
Supporting Organization Reform - Some comments on ongoing efforts to restructure or improve the function of ICANN's Supporting Organizations.
