<h3>Context and Chronology<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p>The specific objectives for the Accountability and Transparency (ATRT3) Review are to review ICANN's execution of its commitment to maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and transparency so as to ensure that the outcomes
 of its decision-making reflect the public interest and are accountabile to the Internet community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>ICANN's Accountability and Transparency Review originated under the Affirmation of Commitments in 2009. Effective 1 October 2016, ICANN's obligation to conduct this review was incorporated into ICANN Bylaws. The composition of the Review Team will be determined
 by the ICANN community. For more information, please see Section 4.6. of the ICANN
