Background
The Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2) was conducted under the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) between ICANN and the U.S. Department of Commerce. Under paragraph 9.1 of the AoC, ICANN committed to “maintain and improve robust mechanisms for public input, accountability, and transparency so as to ensure that the outcomes of its decision‐making will reflect the public interest and be accountable to all 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: (1) assessed ICANN’s implementation of recommendations of the prior AoC Review Team; (2) offered new recommendations to the ICANN Board to further improve ICANN’s accountability and transparency; 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.
On 26 June 2014, the Board took action and approved the 12 recommendations.
