Phase 5AP FeedbackThank you for the update. The SSAC has no comments or questions.

 

Phase 5Phase UpdateThis advice has been taken over by subsequent events and is no longer relevant. The Third Accountability and Transparency Review (ATRT3) issued recommendation 3.3 which called for the next SSR Review to be deferred until the next Accountability and Transparency Review team is convened and will evaluate whether this review should continue. Accordingly, the Board deferred SSR3 in March 2021. The SSR2 issued its final report in January 2021 and the Board took action on 63 recommendations in July 2021. The Board took action on 3 recommendations placed into "pending" category and plans to address the remaining "pending" recommendations within the next 6 months. In addition, the ICANN org initiated Lifecycle of Reviews project will address the intent of this SSAC advice - to better plan and manage the end-to-end process of reviews.

 

Phase 5Phase UpdateOn 28 October 2017, the Board issued a letter to the SSR2 Review Team instructing the team to pause all work related to the review, excepting only planned engagement meetings at ICANN 60 (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/crocker-to-ssr2-28oct17-en.pdf). On 7 June 2018 ICANN Org announced the formal restart of the SSR2 Review with four additional Review Team members (https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2018-06-07-en).
