Interested individuals should send their resume/CV to the email addresses affiliated with each of the specialty areas by 29 July 2013.

Questions ATRT2 Session - Tues, 16 July
by Gabriella Schittek July 13, 2013

July 13, 2013

Dear all, For those of you who will participate in the ccNSO members meeting in Durban: We will meet with the The Second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT 2) on Tuesday, 16 July 17:20-17:35 (see agenda http://ccnso.icann.org/meetings/durban/agenda.htm) The ATRT 2 has prepared some questions that they wish to ask you during this meeting please, see below. These questions have also been posted on the agenda page. Kind regards, Gabi 1. The multi-stakeholder model presumes we can get substantive involvement from all stakeholders, including those who do not have financial interests at stake. Is that being achieved effectively, and if not, what does ICANN need to change to be able to do it effectively? 2. There has been a lot of discussion, and some ATRT1 recommendations, related to the Public Comment process. Do you think the process to receive comments is working well, and if not, what needs to be done to fix or change it? For the comments that are received, do you feel that those requested by PDP Working Groups, Staff and the Board are effectively taken into account in ultimate decisions? 3. Do you believe that ICANN¹s organization of Advisory Committees and Support Organizations and their respective internal organizations are effective in achieving ICANN¹s multi-stakeholder goals, and if not, how should things be changed? 4. Do you have any comments with regard to ICANN¹s implementation of the recommendations of the three earlier AoC Review Teams Accountability & Transparency, WHOIS, and Security, Stability & Resiliency? 5. Do you have concerns about ICANN¹s overall transparency and accountability, or related issues that are specific to your group?
