>> outcomes of its decision-making reflect the public interest and are
>> accountable to the Internet community.

>> obligation to conduct this review was incorporated into ICANN Bylaws.
>> The composition of the Review Team will be determined by the ICANN
>> community. For more information, please see Section 4.6. of the
>> ICANN Bylaws
>> <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources_pages_governance_bylaws-2Den_-23article4&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mrDeztziKLa7gZqGADzxcnHA3QXmXYsnChWYBR4NElI&m=k-rnVX5zAqyn7ReMeQ-A9_lMF9>.

>>     for Board decisions contained in the Bylaws; 
>>   * Assess the role and effectiveness of the GAC's interaction with
>>     the Board and with the broader ICANN community; and make
>>     recommendations for improvements to ensure effective
>>     consideration by ICANN of GAC input on the public policy aspects
>>     of the technical coordination of the DNS; 
>>   * Assess and improve the processes by which ICANN receives public
>>     input (including adequate explanation of decisions taken and

>>   * Assess the policy development process to facilitate enhanced

>>   * Assess and improve the Independent Review Process; and

>>     intended effect. 
>>
>>
>>       Compensation
>>
>> ATRT3 Review Team members will not receive compensation from ICANN

>>     shorter cycle. 
>>   * January 2016 - In response to concerns raised by The National
>>     Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) about
>>     delaying ATRT3 until July 2017, ICANN noted
>>     <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_system_files_correspondence_chehade-2Dto-2Dstrickling-2D28jan16-2Den.pdf&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mrDeztziKLa7gZqGADzxcnHA3QXmXYsnChWYBR4NElI&m=k> [PDF,

>>     118 KB] to the ICANN Board, presenting possible options of how to
>>     combine Work Stream 2 (WS2) efforts and the ATRT3 work, to avoid
>>     work duplication. The co-Chairs took this step because as the
>>     IANA Stewardship Transition was being completed, and the ICANN
>>     Community was engaged in WS2 to address remaining issues, many of
>>     the WS2 topics were related to issues expected to be addressed in
>>     the ATRT3, i.e. accountability and transparency. 
>>   * October 2016 - The ICANN Board responded.
>>     <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_system_files_correspondence_crocker-2Dto-2Dsanchez-2Det-2Dal-2D24oct16-2Den.pdf&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mrDeztziKLa7gZqGADzxcnHA3QXmXYsnChWYBR4N> [PDF,
>>     439 KB] that, "It is not up to the Board to dictate the scope of
>>     this important community review. While we share the concerns
>>     raised of avoiding duplication of resources, it is essential that
>>     the broader ICANN community have a voice in determining how the
>>     ATRT3 should be scoped in alignment with the Bylaws. The Board
>>     and the ICANN Organization stand ready to support the community's
>>     direction." 
>>   * December 2016 - the CCWG-Accountability Co-Chairs contacted the
>>     SO/AC Chairs
>>     <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2016-December/013432.html>,
>>     proposing a limited scope for ATRT3 as well as a reduced-size
>>     Review Team. They suggested that if the broader ICANN Community
>>     agrees with the proposal and rationale, the SO/AC chairs issue a
>>     public statement or letter to the ICANN CEO and Board Chair that
>>     explains why a limited scope is appropriate and indicate the
>>     level of support among the ICANN community for this limitation.
>>     ICANN organization is not aware of any collective community
>>     response to the CCWG-Accountability Co-Chair's note.
