In the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC), ICANN commits to maintain and improve 
robust mechanisms for public input, accountability and transparency so as to 
ensure that the outcomes of its decision-making reflect the public interest and 
are accountable to all stakeholders. To this end, the AoC prescribes the 
setting-up of a Review Team as to evaluate ICANN's Accountability and 
Transparency - this led to the creation of the first ATRT in March 2010.

In its examination of ICANN's activities, the first ATRT recently published 
Questions to the Community for Public 
Comment<http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-201007-en.htm#atrt>.

As part of its review effort, the AoC Accountability and Transparency Review 
Team (ATRT)<http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/affirmation/activities-1-en.htm> 
now issues a Request for Proposals 
(RfP)<http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/affirmation/rpf-atrt-02jun10-en.pdf> 
[PDF, 49 KB] in order to appoint an independent expert.

The purpose of this assignment is to perform a n assessment of ICANN 
decision-making to identify whether ICANN's processes and procedures are 
designed and executed in a manner that ensures its AoC commitments.

Interested parties are invited to provide relevant background material, written 
methodology for execution of this task, views on the tentative timeline 
enclosed in the RfP, a proposed budget, resumes, references and financial 
information by June 12, 2010 - 23.59 UTC to Alice E. Jansen, ICANN, Assistant, 
Organizational Reviews at alice.jansen@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:alice.jansen@xxxxxxxxx>.

Interested parties, please be advised that the RT has addressed a set of 
questions received in response to the RfP: RfP Questions and 
Answers<http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/affirmation/rfp-q-and-a-11jun10-en.pdf> 
[PDF, 64 KB].

Based on review of the June 12, 2010 submissions, parties may be invited to 
present their proposals to perform this study to the ATRT during its meeting on 
June 18-19, 2010 in Brussels, Belgium.

The ATRT intends to notify candidates on Monday, 14 June 2010.
