Dear Colleagues Please find below for your information a response from the GAC Chair regarding the scope of ATRT3. Best Mathieu From: Olof Nordling Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2017 5:01 PM To: Larisa B. Gurnick <larisa.gurnick@icann.org> Cc: gac-leadership@icann.org Subject: ATRT-3 scope - views from the GAC Please note and share the following message from the GAC Chair: Dear Larissa, Noting that the ATRT-3, once established, will have the option to modify the scope of the review, the GAC finds it of doubtful value to formally limit the scope of the ATRT-3 prior to its formation. The GAC also notes that work potentially envisaged by the ATRT-3 may overlap with activities in Work Stream 2 of the CCWG-Accountability. As a consequence, and to ensure efficiency, the GAC finds it appropriate for the ATRT-3 to consider such potential overlap situations when reviewing the scope and in planning its activities.
