27The Board must implement ATRT2 Recommendation 9.1, regarding Formal Advice from Advisory Committees.ICANN BoardTG5
  • ALAC
COMPLETE - No response required

Actions: 

  • : Olivier Crepin-Leblond to ask the Board Chairman re the implementation of Rec 27; Olivier Crepin-Leblond will ask ALAC Chair's permission first. 
  • : 
    • Olivier Crepin-Leblond to check whether the ATRT rec 9.1 is incorporated in the new ICANN bylaws
      YES it is:

      Section 12.3.
       
      PROCEDURES
       
      Each Advisory Committee shall determine its own rules of procedure and quorum requirements; provided that each Advisory Committee shall ensure that the advice provided to the Board by such Advisory Committee is communicated in a clear and unambiguous written statement, including the rationale for such advice.
       
      The Board will respond in a timely manner to formal advice from all Advisory Committees explaining what action it took and the rationale for doing so.

    • Heidi Ullrich to forward the question to Board Support, Rinalia Abdul Rahim and possibly Steve Crocker to address this during ICANN56

Notes: 

  • 9.1. ICANN Bylaws Article XI should be amended to include the following language to mandate Board Response to Advisory Committee Formal Advice: “The ICANN Board will respond in a timely manner to formal advice from all Advisory Committees, explaining what action it took and the rationale for doing so.”
  • Board has accepted all the recommendations and asked for implementation, but the ALAC may bring this up with the Board if we don't hear updates by ICANN 52 Singapore
  • :
    • The Board has approved the ATRT2 recommendations a year ago or earlier and now the recommendations should have been implemented. Nonetheless, we have not heard any update re the implementation
    • Sebastien Bachollet recommended that it may be worthwhile to follow up with CCWG-Accountability and CWG-IANA on this recommendation. In particular, CCWG-Accountability will work on the bylaw change related matters, so this recommendation can be taken care of by the CCWG. The CCWG's work with regard to community empowerment mechanism and the extent of bylaw change is an ongoing process 
    • Olivier Crepin-Leblond points out that it is uncertain whether the outcome from the CCWG-Accountability will trump the ATRT2 recommendations. Another concern with the CCWG-Accountability work is that it seems to strengthen the SOs and weakens the ACs, but it may just be an speculation; one worrisome scenario would be that the advice from advisory committee will have less impact and the Board will not treat the advice from advisory committees as formal advice.
