<div>Regarding Kavouss’ point about the ATRT assessing the 'effectiveness of the GAC’. </div>
<div>A deeper read of ICANN bylaws tells me that ‘effectiveness’ is part of what the structural reviews are about. So while these structural reviews don’t actually assess the effectiveness of the GNSO, CCNSO, etc., they do make recommendations about how to
improve the effectiveness. (see bylaws below)</div>
