Good work on this, Matthew. Some comments on your suggestions:</div>

AoC #3: let’s add ‘global’ in front of public interest, as in, </div>

<div>AoC #4: agree that we should add ICANN’s commitment to … "perform and publish analyses of the positive and negative effects of its decisions on the public, including any financial impact on the public, and the positive or negative impact (if any) on the
systemic security, stability and resiliency of the DNS.”</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>AoC #7: I don’t think these ICANN commitments to transparency, accountability, and process are in the present bylaws, and agree they should be added. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>AoC #8a: ICANN coordinates the DNS by making policy regarding TLDs and enforcing contracts, so it’s not entirely because of IANA functions. So I would keep 8a. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>AoC #8b: I believe we should bring 8b into the bylaws, citing two reasons: First, the US Congress seems to be insisting upon this as a condition of transision; and second, ICANN CEO said this was something he was committed to maintain. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>AoC #8c: you’re right, this is unique phrasing and we should bring it into the bylaws.</div>

Dear all - attached please find an overview of other elements of the AoC that need to be further discussed within the WP as well as some suggestions that could be brought into the bylaws.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to your thoughts/comments.<br>

<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>
