We discussed this on yesterday's member call. Anjali Hansen volunteered (thank-you, Anjali), and we want to cast a broader net for help in drafting these comments. The second Accountability sand 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.htm>) The ATRT2 just published its draft review/recommendations (here<http://www.icann.org/en/about/aoc-review/atrt/draft-recommendations-15oct13-en.pdf>), 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 so we want draft comments circulated to BC members before 8-Nov. 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%20questions%20FINAL.pdf>) Who else can help Anjali with review and drafting? -- Steve DelBianco Executive Director NetChoice http://www.NetChoice.org and http://blog.netchoice.org +1.202.420.7482

Comments on the doc regarding resolutions. I didn't see an attachment about meetings. I am not so strongly positive about the use of the public comments as the original statement, and tried to temper it a bit. Should we add in a statement about respecting the meetings period? It might be an easy add.
