*NEW: **Board Activity on the Third Accountability and Transparency Review*

*From: *Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair

Earlier this year, the third Accountability and Transparency Review Team
(ATRT3) delivered its Final Report
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/atrt3-report-29may20-en.pdf> to
the ICANN Board. This report was then posted for Public Comment to help
inform the Board’s action on the final recommendations.

During the Board's 30 November meeting, the Board *resolved*
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2020-11-30-en> to
approve the five recommendations in the ATRT3 Final Report
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/atrt3-report-29may20-en.pdf>*,*
 comprised of 15 component parts as enumerated in the scorecard
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-atrt3-final-recs-board-action-scorecard-30nov20-en.pdf>,
which call for:

1.     Updates to the requirements of ICANN’s Public Comment proceedings.

2.     ICANN org to review the implementation of the second Accountability
and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2) recommendations in light of the
ATRT3’s assessment, and to complete the implementation of ATRT2
recommendations subject to prioritization.

3.     Changes to Specific and Organizational Reviews, including creation
of a new Holistic Review of ICANN, and evolution of Organizational Reviews
into Continuous Improvement Programs.

4.     Improvements to the accountability and transparency of ICANN’s
Strategic and Operating Plans.

5.     The creation of a community-led entity tasked with operating a
prioritization process for recommendations made by review teams,
cross-community groups, or any other community-related budgetary elements
the Board or ICANN org feels appropriate.

On behalf of the Board, I want to extend our thanks to the ATRT3 team for
its dedication and hard work. The ATRT3 Final Report is the culmination of
14 months of work by 19 team members, representing more than 2,500 hours of
meetings and significant engagement with the wider ICANN community
throughout the process. The commitment and efforts of this review team and
thoughtful contributions of the wider community via public comments and
other engagement with the ATRT3 cannot be underestimated. This illustrates
the strength, accountability, and transparency of the multistakeholder
model.
