> Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose:
> The second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT 2),
> mandated by paragraph 9.1 of the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC),
> commenced its activities in February 2013. With the goal of
> producing final recommendations by 31 December 2013, the Review
> Team is currently in the process of defining its scope, roadmap and
> work program. To date, the Review Team has identified issues,
> projects to review in light of the AoC requirements and divided the
> work into four work streams:
>
> ATRT1 – review of implementation of ATRT1 Review Team
> recommendations + any new recommendations – AoC 9.1 (a)-(e);
> Security, Stability and and Resiliency – review of implementation
> of SSR Review Team recommendations - AoC 9.2(a)-(c);
> WHOIS – review of implementation of WHOIS Review Team Team
> recommendations AoC 9.3.1;
> Consider the extent to which assessments and actions undertaken by
> ICANN have been successful in ensuring that ICANN is acting
> transparently, is accountable for its decision-making, and acts in
> the public interest.

> Section II: Background:
> As prescribed by the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC), ICANN is to
> organize a review of its accountability and transparency
> commitments no less frequently than every three years. The first
> Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT) was launched in
> early 2010, delivered its final report on 31 December 2010, and
> ICANN's Board approved implementation of the report's
> recommendations on 24 June 2011 (for further information, refer
> to:http://www.icann.org/en/about/aoc-review/atrt). On 5 October
> 2012, ICANN invited interested individuals to apply for a position
> of Volunteer Review Team Member, representing a Supporting
> Organization or Advisory Committee, or for a position of
> Independent Expert on the second Accountability and Transparency
> Review Team (ATRT 2), consistent with the AoC timeframe. The ATRT 2
> composition was announced on 15 February 2013 and held its first
> face-to-face meeting in Los Angeles on 14-15 March 2013.
