*Third Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Draft Report
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/q1EC0d0aPm0N0502R0uB003>*

18 December 2019

*Open Date:* 16 December 2019 *Close Date:* 31 January 2020
*Originating Organization:* The third Accountability and Transparency
Review Team via Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives (MSSI)
*Categories/Tags:* Reviews/Improvements, Accountability/Transparency
*Brief Overview:*

This Public Comment proceeding is on behalf of the third Accountability and
Transparency Review Team (ATRT3). The ATRT3 seeks to solicit input on its draft
report. <https://newsalerts.icann.org/G1R0E520an0CC0dP0000uN3>

The report drafted by the ATRT3 contains findings, suggestions and
recommendations with regard to ICANN accountability and transparency in key
areas:

   - Board
   - Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC)
   - Public Input
   - Policy Development Process
   - Specific and Organizational Reviews
   - Accountability Indicators
   - Prioritization of Activities, Policies, and Recommendations

The ATRT3 collected opinions on ICANN's accountability and transparency
from individuals and ICANN structures via a survey
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/A50o00CR20Nd1u300P0D0aE> and engagement
sessions at ICANN Public Meetings. This input helped the ATRT3 identify
areas which require improvement and could benefit from a suggestion or
recommendation. More information on the ATRT3's key findings, suggestions,
and recommendations is detailed in the draft report summary (see Section 1).

The ATRT3 welcomes community comment on all sections of its draft report
and highlights the following topics as particularly critical:

*Specific and Organizational Reviews* (see Section 10.5): As stated in the
draft report, "Although ATRT3 could not come to consensus on a single
proposal to address the issues related to Specific and Organizational
Reviews it did manage to narrow the options down to two distinct
possibilities for this draft report which are presented [in the report].
The ATRT3 is seeking input from community on these to assist it in coming
to a conclusion on this topic for its final report."

*Prioritization of activities, policies, and recommendations:* The draft
report includes a suggestion on this topic (see Section 12.4).

*About ICANN*

ICANN’s mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global
Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an
address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That
address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN
helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world.
ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation
with a community of participants from all over the world.
