At-Large ATRT 2 ALAC Endorsement Process Workspace

Review individuals (candidates from a list to be provided by the ICANN ATRT2 Staff), who apply to serve on the second Accountability & Transparency Review Team “as representing the At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC).”
Assess the suitability of the candidates for the work of the ATRT2 by evaluating them against the set of criteria specified in the ATRT2 Call for Volunteers as well as additional criteria specific to the ALAC.
Recommend a list of candidates for ALAC endorsement based on a high level of confidence that the candidates are qualified to assess ICANN's accountability and transparency and can do so from the perspective/viewpoint of the ALAC and the global At-Large Community.

Discussion about candidates and candidate assessment will be conducted in Sub-Committee and among Sub-Committee members only.
No information from the designated Sub-Committee workspace and mailing list will be forwarded or shared with anyone outside of the Sub-Committee.

Meetings will be recorded except for segments on candidate discussion and assessment.
Recordings are for internal Sub-Committee use only (i.e., to support fact verification by Sub-Committee and staff during the course of work) and will not be made publicly available.
Recordings will be kept by ICANN staff and destroyed once the Sub-Committee has completed its work.

Sub-Committee work will be conducted via the restricted workspace and the designated mailing list.
Sub-Committee’s restricted workspace will be viewable at all times by its members and staff only, and will be deleted once the Sub-Committee work has been completed.
Sub-Committee’s mailing list (alac-atrt2@atlarge-lists.icann.org) will not retain any archives of messages sent via it and will be closed once the Sub-Committee work has been completed.
ALAC workspace will be used by the Sub-Committee Chair to provide updates/reports to the ALAC about the non-confidential aspects of the Sub-Committee’s work.
