This is a solid response, Brian.<br>
<br>
I suggest removing the following sentence from the text:
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;"><span
style="color: rgb(79, 129, 189);" lang="EN-US">The ATRT will
contact Berkman to determine if any reductions of head count are
possible
without compromising the quality or scope of the required work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
as I don't think we have the luxury of going back and forth to Berkman
any longer. It should be sufficient that we are satisfied with
Berkman's proposal and its team and the value that one of the world's
top universities can bring to the review. The Board needs to realise
that any further delay jeopardises the review, and that the management
of this issue will itself potentially become subject to the review
process.<br>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">I
had a call with the Board committee that is reviewing the ATRT proposed
budget. Rita Rodin, Dennis Jennings, Katim Touray and Vanda Scarezini
attended from the Board. Peter was also on the call.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">The
tone was constructive and the Board members noted their support for the
ATRT’s
work and their desire to have recommendations from the review team
process that
satisfy the requirements of the Affirmation of Commitments. They also
noted their respect for the independence of the ATRT and their
fiduciary
obligation to the Community to ensure, from a budgetary perspective,
that
appropriate and justifiable resources are brought to bear. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">I
explained the ATRT budget decision making process as it pertains to the
scope
of work under paragraph 9.1 of the AoC and the decisions to have
face-to-face
meetings as well as the RFP process to retain an Independent Expert.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">The
Board members were concerned about the ATRT budget as well as the total
cost of
other reviews (given the size of the ATRT budget) that are required
under the
AoC. The Board members asked if cost reductions were possible
particularly with regard to the Independent Expert. The Board members
posed the following questions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black;"><span
style="">-<span
style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span dir="ltr"></span><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">Is
a team of 9 members
from the Independent Expert candidate necessary? Could the number be
reduced along with the proposed cost of the Independent Expert’s work.
Perhaps in half?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span dir="ltr"></span><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">It
was observed that the
unique, individualized expertise of Independent Expert team members was
not
clear and that they may be redundancies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span dir="ltr"></span><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">It
appeared from the
ATRT’s early work that it intended to have a “management review” or
audit
performed by the Independent Expert. Case studies were added to the
scope
of the Independent Expert. Why was that done? [I provided answers
to this question and noted that the case studies recommended came from
the
ATRT’s interaction with the Community.]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span dir="ltr"></span><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">An
interpretation
question was asked concerning the scope of paragraph 9.1. One
interpretation
is that paragraph 9.1 calls for a review of the “execution of tasks” by
ICANN. The ATRT was asked if the scope of its work for the Independent
Expert was consistent with the execution of tasks or if it go beyond
that scope
– see the “assessing and improving” and “assessing” iterations of
paragraph 9.1
(a)-(e). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">A
question was raised
with regard to a quote from the ATRT’s Independent Expert RFP: “the
ATRT
is not seeking an audit of whether processes and procedures are in
place (i.e.,
a Sarbanes-Oxley audit), but rather a focus on reviewing and assessing
the
quality of the decision-making as a result of the processes and
procedures.” The Board members asked whether “assessing the quality of
decision-making” took the scope of work beyond paragraph 9.1 – if a
review of
the execution of tasks is the proper orientation of the review.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span dir="ltr"></span><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">Given
the limited time
frame for the review, the intended scoped and depth of review may prove
unwieldy for the ATRT and its resources. Should the ATRT consider an
iterative approach to the review? Making recommendations about areas
that
should be subject to further review, analysis and action, if necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">I
noted that while resources and costs of the Independent Expert could
possibly
be reduced, that reducing the scope of work would be problematic –
given the
requirements of paragraph 9.1. Nevertheless, please comment on the
question of interpretation of paragraph 9.1 and provide feedback to
the
remaining questions, noting if you see areas where projected costs
could be
reduced.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
