Subject: Upcoming invite for ATRT 2

Dear SO/AC Chairs,

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. For full information, please refer to section 9.1 of 
the Affirmation of Commitments 
http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/aoc/affirmation-of-commitments-30sep09-en.htm.

In terms of Review Team composition, the AoC stipulates that: The review will 
be performed by volunteer community members [...], and will include the 
following (or their designated nominees): the Chair of the GAC, the Chair of 
the Board of ICANN, the Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information 
of the DOC, representatives of the relevant ICANN Advisory Committees and 
Supporting Organizations and independent experts. Composition of the review 
team will be agreed jointly by the Selectors: the Chair of the GAC (in 
consultation with GAC members) and the Chair of the Board of ICANN.

The first ATRT was launched in early 2010 and delivered its final report on 31 
December 2010. For further information, refer to: 
http://www.icann.org/en/about/aoc-review/atrt

Please note that in accordance with the AoC timeframe, the release of the Call 
for Applicants for the second Accountability & Transparency Review Team (ATRT 
2) is imminent.

The Call for Applicants invites interested individuals to apply for a position 
of Volunteer Review Team Member, in representation of a Supporting Organization 
or Advisory Committee, and/or for a position of Independent Expert on the 
second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT 2). Details on the 
mandate, missions, desired skill set and application process will be included 
in the Call for Applicants.

Applications received for a position of SO/AC representative on the ATRT 2 will 
be forwarded to the Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee identified by 
the candidate for endorsement. Should your SO/AC require additional information 
from applicants to reach your decision on endorsement, please inform Staff as 
soon as you can so that it may be included in the process. SO/AC endorsement 
will be factored into the selection of the ATRT 2 Members.

The Call for Applicants also solicits independent experts to serve on the ATRT 
2. Candidates will be considered and appointed by Selectors.

Given SO/ACs' key role in the application process, Staff would like to share 
the following schedule with you:

 *   5 October 2012 - Publication of the Call for Applicants for the position 
of Volunteer Review team Member and Independent Expert

 *   Week of 21 January 2013 - Kick-off meeting

Please kindly note that should your SO/AC or constituency wish to discuss this 
process, Staff is prepared to join your sessions in Toronto or to attend 
conference calls depending on your availability to provide you with an outline 
of the application process. Should you have any immediate questions, please 
also feel free to email them to 
olof.nordling@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:olof.nordling@xxxxxxxxx> and
