>Subject: ALAC Decision on ATRT3
>
>ALAC Statement on the Proposal for Limited Scope of the Third 
>Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Review
>
>During the ALAC Monthly Meeting on 20 December 2016, the proposed 
>limited scope of the ATRT3 Review has been discussed. After 
>consultation with ALAC Members who have participated in ATRT2, 
>closely tracked ATRT2, and/or actively engaged in the Cross 
>Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability 
>(CCWG-Accountability), the ALAC has reached agreement on the following:
>
>The ALAC supports the CCWG-Accountability proposal of convening a 
>narrowly-scoped ATRT3 Review Team as soon as possible, which is 
>tasked with assessing the implementation of ARTR2 recommendations 
>only as per the message from Mathieu Weill dated 02 December 2016. 
>The ALAC also supports the proposal of requesting ICANN Staff to do 
>a "self-assessment" triage report on ATRT2 recommendations and their 
>implementation, which will facilitate the completion of the ATRT3 
>work in an efficient manner. Should this go forward, the ALAC will 
>encourage At-Large Community members who participated in previous 
>ATRT Review Teams to apply for the ATRT3 Review Team and contribute 
>to its Charter development process.
>
>Nevertheless, the ALAC stresses that the proposed limited scope of 
>ATRT3 should be considered exceptional. Future ATRT rounds should 
>have the original full scope to cover accountability and 
>transparency topics and make recommendations, as per requirements in 
>the original Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) Reviews. Furthermore, 
>the fourth ATRT should convene sooner before the maximum five years.
>
>Lastly, the ALAC is concerned that the evaluation of the overall 
>composition and balance of stakeholder representation in ICANN's 
>Multistakeholder Model is long overdue, an issue raised during the 
>Second At-Large Summit. This review should either be addressed under 
>ATRT4, or by a special review convened by the ICANN Board ensuring 
>that appropriate consideration is given to all views from all 
>stakeholders, proportionally to their scope, relevance, and 
>decision-making requirements in ICANN.
