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-bo…>, 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. *Learn more* <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/board-activity-on-the-third-accountability-…> *. * *REMINDER:* *Request for Community Selection Panel Participants – 2021 ICANN Community Excellence Award Program* *From:* David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support ICANN's Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees will be requested to provide up to two members from their respective group to help choose the recipient of the 2021 ICANN Community Excellence Award.

In using "represents the interests", it goes further than "acts in the best interests", but it also opens the door to criticism that there are no procedures in place to ask every Internet user what they think, so it further exacerbates the issue of legitimacy. Thus I would support "acts in the best interests" Kindest regards, Olivier On 22/11/2020 14:17, Maureen Hilyard wrote: Dear Tijani Thank for first bringing this matter to our attention. It is an issue that Alan raised as one that should be dealt with before the report is accepted. The two alternatives that I had originally been given as replacements for "oversee" were "advocate for" and "represent" ... But I see that your recommendations also include "represents the interests of" and "is the voice of". I will ask staff create a poll for the ALAC to pose the alternatives to be considered for their selection. Thank you again for your suggestions.

It is as if you say the GNSO council oversees the NCSG or NCUC or NPOC or the BC or the IPC or the Registry …. communities. Any term that have the meaning of control or domination of the At-Large Community by ALAC wouldn’t be acceptable. Otherwise, I can live with any other word.
