Dear ICANN Community members:

In advance of the ICANN meeting in Costa Rica, I would like to call your attention to the progress that has been made on efforts to advance ICANN's accountability and transparency, specifically implementation of the Accountability & Transparency Review Team (ATRT) Recommendations.  Status reports on ICANN's ATRT-related work are posted on ICANN's Accountability & Transparency web page.  For your convenience, links to recent highlights are included below:

· At a glance: ATRT Implementation Status

· ATRT Implementation Summary

· WHOIS Community Review Team Seeks Public Comments

· Action on ATRT Recommendations 15, 16, 17: Public Comment Processes

You are invited to share any input you may have about these activities at the public forum in Costa Rica.  

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need additional information.

Regards,

Denise
