Hi James Thank you for this input. I was reviewing those sections yesterday evening, and had exactly those thoughts. On a very quick look, the ATRT report seems an impressive piece of work, and I think we can usefully reflect and learn from the process that they went through. Kind regards, and Happy New Year to all on the Whois RT! Emily On 2 Jan 2011, at 07:54, James M. Bladel wrote:
Team:
Hope everyone had a good holiday and looking forward to our continued work in the New Year.
During the past few days, the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT) published its Final Report and Recommendations. You can review the entire document here:
http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/affirmation/atrt-final-recommendations-31dec...
In my opinion, there are two sections that are of particular interest to the RT4 effort: Appendix A: "Overview of the ATRT Process" (beginning on page 57), and Appendix B: "Observations of the ATRT Process" (pg. 65).
The ATRT encountered (and overcame) many process challenges during the course of its work. We may face the same or similar issues on this Review Team, and can benefit from the model & precedents set by the ATRT. If at all practical, I encourage that the members of RT4 review at least these two sections prior to our meeting in London.
Thanks--
J.
