BACKGROUND The IRP is an accountability mechanism provided by the ICANN Bylaws that allows for third-party review of actions (or inactions) by the ICANN Board or staff that are allegedly in violation of the Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation. The Bylaws provide that an omnibus standing panel shall be established from which panelists shall be selected to preside over specific IRP disputes. The ICANN Bylaws specify that ICANN shall, in consultation with the SOs and ACs, establish the standing panel. The Bylaws requires ICANN, in consultation with the SOs and ACs, to pursue a four-step process to establish the standing panel. As part of the process, the SOs and ACs must collectively agree on one slate of candidates for the standing panel to be submitted to the ICANN Board for approval.

Details will be confirmed as the date approaches. REMINDER: Meet with the ATRT3 Team Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives FOR: All SO/AC Chairs INFORMATION SHARING The third Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) will meet in Marrakech to advance its work. As some of the team will be in Marrakech we would like to ask for a 30 to 40-minute slot on your community group's agenda, if possible. Community input is key to the success of this process. If you are able to accommodate us on your agenda, please send us an email to <atrt3-coordination@icann.org<mailto:atrt3-coordination@icann.org>> to let us know a day and time that would suit. We will send you a preliminary set of questions ahead of the meeting to aid the discussion. We also welcome any questions you wish to raise in advance. Our goal for Marrakech is to: - Socialize our terms of reference and scope; - Conduct investigation of identified objectives - Seek input from the community to help us shape our findings and draft recommendations. BACKGROUND The ATRT review is mandated by ICANN Bylaws Section 4.6 (b) to examine ICANN’s execution of its commitment to maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and transparency so as to ensure that the outcomes of its decision-making reflect the public interest and are accountable to the Internet community. Prior to meeting in Marrakech, the review team met on 3-5 April in Los Angeles for its first substantive meeting to develop our terms of reference and workplan, in response to the Board Resolution (2018.10.25.15) requesting that “ATRT3 adopt its Terms of Reference and Work Plan within 60 days of convening its first meeting, and submit these documents to the Board and to the leadership of the Supporting Organizations and the Advisory Committees, to confirm that the team's scope and timeline are consistent with the requirements of the ICANN Bylaws and ICANN community expectations.” We look forward to hearing from you.
