Dear Councilors,

As an action item from the extraordinary meeting on 16 July, a Council small team will be formed to draft a response to the ATRT3 Final Report public comment, which is scheduled to close on 31 July: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/atrt3-final-report-2020-06-16-en

If you’d like to help draft the Council response, please let staff know by COB Monday, 20 July. We will help facilitate the document development and provide other needed support.

As a suggestion for your consideration, the Council may wish to comment on the following sections in the Final Report:

• Section 8 – the ATRT3’s high priority recommendation regarding streamlining review cycles;
• Section 10 -- the ATRT3’s high priority recommendation regarding creating a community-led entity tasked with operating a prioritization process for recommendations;
• Prologue (pp. 5-6) – the ATRT3’s concerns regarding GNSO PDP’s accountability and transparency when considering the EPDP as it relates to data protection (an example of the concern can be found in SAC111).

Thanks to Pam for suggesting this action, and to Tom and Cheryl for volunteering during the Council meeting.  

Best Regards,

Ariel
