==Accountable and Transparent Governance of Names, Numbers, and Protocols==
[[ICANN Accountability]] has been an ongoing topic since the birth of the organization. Article 4 of the [[ICANN Bylaws]] states: "In carrying out its Mission, ICANN shall be accountable to the community for operating in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and these Bylaws, including the Mission set forth in Article 1 of these Bylaws."<ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article4 Article 4, ICANN Bylaws], as amended November 28, 2019</ref>
Although the organization's core mission and values have remained largely consistent throughout the organization's existence, certain events have resulted in amendments to the [[ICANN Bylaws]] to more precisely define ICANN's mission and values. For example, the [[IANA Functions Stewardship Transition]] expanded ICANN's mission slightly (to incorporate the oversight of the IANA functions and the [[PTI]]) as well as the [[Affirmation of Commitments]] into ICANN's bylaws, memorializing the structure and rules for [[ICANN Reviews#Specific Reviews|Specific Reviews]].
Although the organization's core mission and values have remained largely consistent throughout the organization's existence, certain events have resulted in amendments to the [[ICANN Bylaws]] to more precisely define ICANN's mission and values. The [[2002 Evolution and Reform Process]] resulted in the creation of Article 4, along with the establishment of ICANN's [[Reconsideration]] mechanism, the [[Independent Review Panel]], and the office of the [[ICANN Ombudsman]].<ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/unthemed-pages/bylaws-2002-12-15-en#IV Article 4, ICANN Bylaws], as revised December 15, 2002</ref> The [[IANA Functions Stewardship Transition]] expanded ICANN's mission slightly (to incorporate the oversight of the IANA functions and the creation of the [[PTI]]), as well as incorporating the [[Affirmation of Commitments]] into ICANN's bylaws, memorializing the structure and rules for [[ICANN Reviews#Specific Reviews|Specific Reviews]].
