"The current lack of clarity regarding the Board's position on the ICM application and its understanding of the status of the GAC advice previously provided highlights, in the GAC's view, the problems identified in the draft recommendations of the ATRT regarding the need to have a clearer understanding on the status of GAC advice. "
 
" The GAC examined the draft recommendations from the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT) and its implications for the ongoing discussions within the Joint GAC-Board Working Group. In addition, the GAC met with the ATRT and exchanged views on the draft report and the draft recommendations. The GAC congratulated the ATRT for the work done and generally welcomed the draft report and recommendations. 
The GAC welcomed the undertaking of the ICANN CEO to ensure the expeditious implementation of the final recommendations."
 
 
"The JWG met in Cartagena and the discussion was based on the Draft of the Joint Working Group Report. The main topics of discussion were GAC advice to the Board and the Policy Development Process. The JWG aims to finalize the report in San Francisco and will take into consideration the final report of the Accountability and Transparency Review Team as well as the ongoing discussion of the review of the GAC operating principles."
