ICANN’s commitment to accountability and transparency, in the interest of Internet users globally, was formalized and documented in 2009 in the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) agreement agreement with the U.S. Government. It set a course for ongoing evolution and improvement in ICANN’s accountability. ICANN views the implementation methodology it chose as the means of ensuring an organization-wide commitment to continuous improvement. The method of implementing the ATRT2’s recommendations will serve as a pilot. ICANN will refine the approach to apply consistently to AoC and other review efforts.
Progress Reporting
With the experience of two previous Accountability and Transparency reviews, ICANN understands the importance of timely and effective communications. In fact, one of the ATRT2 recommendations specifically addresses implementation reporting. Updates on the progress of implementing the recommendations will be posted and reported each trimester through multiple communication channels and at ICANN meetings, beginning with ICANN51 in Los Angeles. A A public session ATRT2 Implementation Update will took take place on Wednesday, 15 October 2014 at 10:30 – 11:45 (see here). Additionallyat ICANN51.
Additionally, webinars on the recommendations implementation progress will be offered periodically to provide ICANN stakeholders an opportunity to interact with the implementation teams.ask questions and offer feedback.
At this time, projects implementing all 12 ATRT2 recommendations have been initiated with several teams executing their initial implementation steps. With 51 distinct recommendation components to develop, the timeframe for implementation will vary depending on the complexity of the recommendation and its key dependencies. These elements .
