In response to the CCWG discussion yesterday on AoC implementation we wanted to note that there are several places for the community to see updates on the implementation of AoC Review recommendations. 

Quarterly updates on the implementation of all AoC Review Recommendations are posted publicly on the ICANN web site (ATRT2, SSR, WHOIS).  Additionally, ICANN publishes a quarterly Executive Dashboard, which is accessible from the ICANN.org home page Quick Links.   High-level statistics on implementation of all AoC Review Recommendations can be found in goal 5.2: Promote ethics, transparency and accountability across ICANN community.

In particular ATRT2 implementation reports show that it is progressing, with quarterly updates posted publicly.

• Majority of the tasks are expected to be completed by September 2016, two years after board approved 12 recommendations, which translated into 50+ subcomponents.
• Quarterly update as of 30 June will be published in August.
• Next detailed update on the progress of ATRT2 implementation will be presented by end of September 2016, in line with NTIA’s request (see letter from Fadi Chehade to Larry Strickling) – “In the interim, ICANN staff will publish a thorough report on implementation of the ATRT2 recommendations by the third quarter of 2016.”
• ICANN has a process in place to monitor progress of implementation work and hold teams accountable for completing board-directed improvements.  This process follows project management best practices, periodic oversight by the Board and regular reports to the community. 
• The Board also adopted a community-supported process improvement (https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2015-07-28-en#2.c) as a result of ATRT2 process improvements to have designated review team members take part in the implementation planning processes.  This will be implemented for all Reviews starting with the CCT review and is expected to add clarity around the intent of the recommendations, desired outcomes and realistic timeframes for implementation work.
