Under paragraph 9.1 of the AoC, ICANN committed to “maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and transparency so as to ensure that the outcomes of its decision-making decision‐making will reflect the public interest and are be accountable to the Internet communityall stakeholders".

As the AoC mandates, a second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2) was convened in 2013. ATRT2 performed three fundamental tasks under the AoC. It :  (1) assessed ICANN’s implementation of Recommendations recommendations of the three prior AoC Review TeamsTeam; (2) offered new Recommendations recommendations to the ICANN Board to further improve ICANN’s accountability and transparency; 5 and (3) offered Recommendations recommendations concerning improvements to the Review review process itself.
