Hi,<br>
<br>
Having gotten into the discussion late, I just read this.<br>
<br>
I think it is mostly fine and only have a few comments.<br>
<br>
The start off with I think it is important that we do not try to
make the recommendations of review teams mandatory. their
'enforcement' come from their cyclical nature and from the ATRT
being able to review not only the implementation of previous ATRT
recommendations, but whether other reviews have <br>

So in this one I agree with the bracketed text and agree with the
deletion.<br>

On this reading one other comment I have: <br>

I think by effective the NTIA meant, do the governments have
adequate voice in this set up and not are they doing their work
effectively. I have no issue with it being removed, but I think it
important to understand the meaning. I.e is the GAC a means for
giving governments and effective voice<br>
<br>
Also we might want to put something in the bylaw that have become
process, such as yearly accountabilty and transparency report from
ICANN as part of its annula reporting mix. Also require yearly
reports oon the implementation status on all review based
recommendations. So a section on reporting requirements might be
worth adding.<br>
