Background

The Second Accountability and Transparency Review is mandated byICANN Bylaws Section 4.6(d) to assess "ICANN’s execution of its commitment to maintain Team (ATRT2) was conducted under the under the Affirmation of Commitments. The Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) between ICANN and the U.S. Department of Commerce committed ICANN 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 of the three prior AoC Review Teams; (2) offered new Recommendations to the ICANN Board to further improve ICANN’s accountability and transparency; 5 and (3) offered Recommendations concerning improvements to the Review process itself.

The ATRT2 produced 12 recommendations for Board consideration and released its ATRT2 Final Report on December 31, 2013.

The ATRT2 Final Report, including its 12 recommendationsm was submitted to the Board on 31 December 2013. On 26 June 2014, the Board took action and approved the 12 recommendations. See https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/atrt2-progress-milestones-2019-08-06-en accepted 12 recommendations, and directed the CEO to proceed with their implementation.  Refer to ICANN org page on ATRT2 for more information.
