</div>
<div>Please see the message from CCWG Staff, below. Most of the SO-AC chairs (myself included) took this note as informational, and missed the call to action.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In a nutshell, the CCWG co-chairs note that the upcoming ATRT3 review team will overlap significantly with the recently completed (Workstream 1) and ongoing work (Workstream 2) of CCWG-ACCT. Like the approach to WHOIS2, they are proposing a reduced scope
for this next review to avoid collision/duplication of work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd welcome any comments or thoughts you might have on this, and we can add it as a discussion item for our draft agenda for our Council call in February.</div>

Subject: CCWG-Accountability WG proposal for a Limited Scope of the ATRT3 Review - reminder<br>

<div class="gmail_default">This is a reminder that the CCWG-Accountability has not received any replies to its December 2nd proposal (original message below) regarding the scope of the upcoming ATRT3 review which will be publishing its call for volunteers
by the end of January.</div>
<div class="gmail_default"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default">As stated in the proposal there are a number of significant overlaps between the work of the CCWG-Accountability and a standard ATRT review which would cause an important duplication of work between these two processes.</div>
<div class="gmail_default"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default">The CCWG-Accountability simply wishes to ensure that the SO's and AC's are aware that if there is no request from the SO's and AC's to modify the scope of the ATRT3 review prior to its launch that it will proceed as a standard review.</div>
<div class="gmail_default"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default">The Co-Chairs of the CCWG-Accountability remain available to the SO's and AC's for further discussions or answer any questions.</div>

<span lang="EN-US">The CCWG-Accountability (CCWG) at its face to face meeting at the ICANN 56 in Helsinki considered the implications of the collision of topics, and therefore efforts, between ATRT3 and Work Stream 2 (WS2) (please see Annex 1 for a detailed
consideration of this issue).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:11.3pt; margin-left:0cm; line-height:106%">
<span lang="EN-US">In its discussion of this issue the CCWG considered the following points:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="gmail-m_-1649711386684943605MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-right:0cm; margin-left:35.3pt; margin-bottom:0.0001pt; line-height:106%">

of topics between WS2 and ATRT3 - There is potential for significant overlap between WS2 topics and the scope of ATRT3 as 6 of the 9 WS2 topics are accountability and transparency issues ATRT3 could also consider.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="gmail-m_-1649711386684943605MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-right:0cm; margin-left:35.3pt; margin-bottom:0.0001pt; line-height:106%">

of the two activities - WS2 began in July 2016 with an objective of completing its work by the end of 2017. ATRT3, which is expected to take 12 months to complete, is currently scheduled to begin in January 2017 but could potentially be delayed until February
2018 under the new Bylaws (which require ATRT every 5 years versus the AoC requirement for every 3 years). It would seem inefficient, at best, to have both of these activities working on the same topics independently, while drawing on the same pool of community
volunteers. At worst, ATRT3 and WS2 groups could issue recommendations that are conflicting or duplicative.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

of recommendations – The Bylaws for WS2 give CCWG recommendations greater weight when it comes to board consideration, relative to recommendations from an ATRT organized under the AoC.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm; margin-bottom:0.0001pt; line-height:106%">
<span lang="EN-US">While in Helsinki, the CCWG concluded its preferred approach, as communicated in our 8-Aug-2016<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/sanchez-et-al-to-icann-board-08aug16-en.pdf" target="_blank">letter</a> to the Board

<span lang="EN-US">Convene ATRT3 as soon as possible with the limited scope of assessing implementation of ATRT2 recommendations. Allow WS2 to handle new recommendations for accountability and transparency. The fourth ATRT would convene before 2022 and would
assess all accountability and transparency topics and make recommendations<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US">It is not up to the Board to dictate the scope of this important community review. While we share the concerns raised of avoiding duplication of resources, it is essential that the broader ICANN community have a voice in determining how the
ATRT3 should be scoped in alignment with the Bylaws. The Board and the ICANN Organization stand ready to support the community’s direction.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
