Dear ATRT2, Happy New Year! I would like to provide you with an update on the posting of the Final ATRT2 Report. As you know, Brian has submitted the Final Report to the Board on 31 December. Staff will post the Final Report for Public Comment, in accordance with the AoC requirements, as soon as possible. The process of translating the full Final Report into 5 UN languages has begun and will be completed by the end of January; translated report will be posted for Public Comment at that time. Public Comment period will be calculated to provide sufficient time, to accommodate the posting of translated report. Public Comments will be considered by the Board prior to taking action on the ATRT2 Report and Recommendations. Thank you and it has been a pleasure working with all of you for the last nine months. Best regards, Larisa B. Gurnick Consultant/Senior Director, Organizational Reviews Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) larisa.gurnick(a)icann.org<mailto:larisa.gurnick@icann.org> 310 383-8995

Dear ATRT2 Members, Congratulations on submitting your final report. On behalf of ICANN staff, I would like to thank you for volunteering your time and effort to help improve ICANN's transparency and accountability. This is valuable work that underpins ICANN's legitimacy and could not be accomplished without your commitment and hard work. Public comments and staff implementation input will be provided to the Board to support its consideration of the final report. Once the Board determines the appropriate course of action, it will adopt a resolution taking action on the recommendations and directing implementation. Action on the ATRT2 report will, of course, be publicly posted, and we also will send you follow-up emails to help keep you apprised of ICANN's progress. Again, thank you for serving on the ATRT2. Regards, Denise Denise Michel VP Strategic Initiatives ICANN denise.michel(a)icann.org
