<div>
<div>The second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2) was convened as part of the Affirmation of Commitments. (ATRT2 <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/atrt2-recommendations-21oct13-en.htm" target="_blank">page</a>) </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The ATRT2 has published its draft review/recommendations (<a href="http://www.icann.org/en/about/aoc-review/atrt/draft-recommendations-15oct13-en.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>), including these recommendation:</div>
<div>
<blockquote style="border:none;padding:0px;">
<div>• establish clear metrics and benchmarks against which improvements in accountability and transparency can be measured;</div>
<div>• communicate clearly and consistently about its accountability and transparency mechanisms and performance; and</div>
<div>• improve and prioritize its AoC Review processes.</div>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Initial comments are due 22-Nov and reply comments close 13-Dec</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The BC offered several suggestions to the ATRT2 when they began in Jun-2013 (<a href="http://www.bizconst.org/Positions-Statements/BC%20Comment%20on%20ATRT-2%20questions%20FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">link</a>)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anjali Hansen, Elisa Cooper, and Angie Graves volunteered to cover parts of the document for the BC. Elisa drafted comments on meetings (first attachment) and Angie on multi-lingual resources. </div>
