<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear SO/AC Chairs,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I wanted to thank you for participating in the ATRT3 Panel in Copenhagen – or for sending a stand-in. We thought the discussion was very productive; you can find the recording/transcript <a href="https://schedule.icann.org/event/9npV/accountability-and-transparency-review-team-3-discussing-community-views-and-organizing-next-steps">here</a>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The 21 April deadline for the
<a href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-01-31-en">ATRT3 Call for Volunteers</a> is approaching, and, so far, we have received only <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/atrt/Applications+Received">four responses</a>. Therefore, we wanted
to give you the heads up that we are going to <b>extend the deadline until 2 June 2017</b>. We will send out an official announcement over the coming days.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In addition, we will continue to promote the ATRT3 Call for Volunteers via blogs, newsletters, and in all MSSI updates to the SO/ACs and other groups. We would very much appreciate it if you could help promote
the call – and our efforts to publicize it – among your peers.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Finally, working under the assumption that, once the Call for Volunteers closes, the SO/ACs will need about 4-6 weeks to make their nominations/endorsements, we suggest to facilitate a conference call in mid-July
for you, the Chairs, to make the final selection of the ATRT Review Team.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Please, let us know if you have any feedback, questions, or comments.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are looking forward to hearing back from you.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Many thanks and best wishes,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
