For the BC meeting today in Buenos Aires (noon in Retiro B), please try to review the ATRT2. The second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2) was convened as part of the Affirmation of Commitments. (ATRT2 page<http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/atrt2-recommendations-21oct13-en...>) The ATRT2 has published its draft review/recommendations (here<http://www.icann.org/en/about/aoc-review/atrt/draft-recommendations-15oct13-...>), including these recommendation: • establish clear metrics and benchmarks against which improvements in accountability and transparency can be measured; • communicate clearly and consistently about its accountability and transparency mechanisms and performance; and • improve and prioritize its AoC Review processes. Initial comments are due 22-Nov and reply comments close 13-Dec The BC offered several suggestions to the ATRT2 when they began in Jun-2013 (link<http://www.bizconst.org/Positions-Statements/BC%20Comment%20on%20ATRT-2%20qu...>) Anjali Hansen, Elisa Cooper, and Angie Graves volunteered to cover parts of the document for the BC. Elisa drafted comments on meetings (first attachment) and Angie on multi-lingual resources. -- Steve DelBianco Executive Director NetChoice http://www.NetChoice.org and http://blog.netchoice.org +1.202.420.7482
