Hello Carlos and everyone,

While it’s not quite the same as your suggestion of a fixed annual time for progress reports, you may be interested to know that periodic updates are published regarding implementation of completed AoC reviews. The most current updates can be accessed from the following link: https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/aoc#Implementation.


Cheers

Dear All,

I would like to comment on the very interesting discussion, if
inconclusive discussion we had in Marrakech, as  alumni of ATRT2 and
actual member of CCT1. My 2 cents:

1. The most important issue this year is how the AoCs will be
incorporated into the By Laws, as we all expect the AoC to lapse. If
they are going to be incorporated more or less verbatim, meaning keeping
a large margin for interpretation, or if in this opportunity more
stringent definition of the reviews will be developed.

<suggestion>
We should define ASAP as GNSO team that will collect feedback from
previous Review Teams and try to follow up as closely as possible the
implementation of the AoC into the By Laws

2. Another important issue with the Reviews, is the very slow startup
phase in terms of budget, charter or Terms of Reference, progress
reviews since the last exercise, etc. In case of the ATRT2 it took a few months to find out we had little funds. in case of the first CCT we have funds but the external Studies by Analysis and Nielsen are pretty much
delayed.

<suggestion>
In the meantime Staff should prepare yearly progress reports on progress in implementation of Review recommendations, simultaneously at a fixed date EVERY the year. Lets say June 30. Based on those yearly reports SOs
and ACs would have a common ground for discussion on future reviews
planing and budgeting every time it is necessary.

Look forward to other comments and suggestions before or on April 14.

Hello Colleagues -

Following up from our discussions in Morocco, the next phases of AOC
Reviews for Accountability and Transparency (ATRT3) and WHOIS (WHOIS2)
will be kicking off this year.  (See attached slide for schedule).

During our weekend sessions in Marrakech, we discussed the challenges
& wisdom of launching these reviews now, given that substantial work
on both topics is already in progress.  Also, our update from ICANN
Staff made it clear that Staff would not act unilaterally to delay or
postpone any scheduled AOC review, particularly in the absence of
consistent guidance from the Community.

We did not reach any decision at ICANN55.  In my view, our options
are:

(1) Take no action. The likely outcome is that the AOC Reviews (ATRT3
and WHOIS2) will commence as planned.
(2) Consult informally with other SO/ACs and the Board to get a sense
of similar concerns shared by other organizations in the Community.
(3) Draft a letter to the Board/Staff, copying other SO/ACs, outlining
our concerns about potential overlap/redundancy of upcoming AOC
reviews with ongoing work on Accountability and WHOIS.

We can flag this topic for discussing during out next Council call (14 APR). However, the agenda for this meeting is starting to fill up, so
it would be immensely helpful if we could discuss on the list and
arrive at a decision.

Thank you,

J.
