Toward the conclusion of Lynn's position with the organization, ICANN's primary mission was to bridge long-standing gaps between its various constituencies. These gaps were largely characterized as endless policy debates and lack of responsiveness. Attempts to reform a better group politics began at [[ICANN 13]] in Romania. Mr. Lynn was an integral instigator of these reforms, and initiated conversations between the board and ICANN community by releasing a 'programme of reform' in February 2002. As part of this attempt at reform, Mr. Lynn and others strove to sharpen and maintain ICANN's focus on managing and securing the growing dns root system.
