Background
The Second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2) was conducted under the the under the Affirmation of Commitments. The Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) between between ICANN and and the U.S. Department of Commerce . Under paragraph 9.1 of the AoC, ICANN committed to “maintain committed ICANN to “maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and transparency so as to ensure that the outcomes of its decision‐making will reflect the public interest and be accountable to all stakeholders".
As the AoC mandates, a second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2) was convened in 2013. ATRT2 performed three fundamental tasks under the AoC: (1) assessed ICANN’s implementation of recommendations of the prior AoC Review Team; (2) offered new recommendations to the ICANN Board to further improve ICANN’s accountability and transparency; and (3) offered recommendations concerning improvements to the review process itself.
The ATRT2 produced 12 recommendations for Board consideration and released its ATRT2 Final Report on December 31, 2013.
The ATRT2 Final Report, producing 12 recommendations, was submitted to the Board on 31 December 2013. On 26 June 2014, by Board Resolution, the Board took action and approved the 12 recommendations. accepted 12 recommendations, and directed the CEO to proceed with their implementation.
