[input-to-atrt2] Comment on the ATRT2 draft recommendations and report

[Cintra Sooknanan]

 Dear ATRT2 members,

The Internet Society Trinidad and Tobago Chapter a member of the Latin
America and Caribbean Regional At Large Organisation and the Not for Profit
Operational Concerns Constituency, wishes to congratulate the work
accomplished, the draft recommendations and report produced. The views
expressed here were also expressed at the ATRT2 meeting with NPOC at the
ICANN Buenos Aires Meeting, but have been captured in writing for ease of
reference and clarity.

With regards the report itself, due to the size of the report more
descriptive table of contents is helpful. If possible, the report should
have a recommendations referential document, enabling the quick reading of
the appropriate detailed text in the report.

The New Recommendation 9 Arising From Issues Not Addressed by ATRT1 which
deals with consideration of decision-making inputs and appeals processes
there needs to be clear and ongoing rules for declaring conflicts and
personal ties in particular familial ties for staff and board members.

The New Recommendation 10 Arising From Issues Not Addressed by ATRT1 which
deals with improving the effectiveness of cross community deliberations
there needs to be detailed the development of rules relating to creation of
cross-community charters and work group procedures. Such cross-community
rules need to be clear and transparent in order to facilitate the
break-down of ICANN silos while ensuring a consistent and fair approach to
the development of policy.

Further under recommendation 10.3 there needs to be inclusion of
under-represented specific communities of interest such as small island
developing states and not just by geographic region. Also we suggest that
the traditional definition and UN groupings utilised within ICANN be
reevaluated to its viability and methodology of having equitable
participation.

Thank you for your kind attention and consideration. We look forward to
reviewing your subsequent documents and report. Please feel free to email
us should you require any clarification or have queries on the above.

Best wishes for the Christmas Season,

Cintra Sooknanan
