ATRT Recommendation 20 – Decisional Input Checklist
In fulfillment of ATRT Recommendation 20, which states:
The Board should ensure that all necessary inputs that have been received in policy making processes are accounted for and included for consideration by the Board. To assist in this, the Board should as soon as possible adopt and make available to the community a mechanism such as a checklist or template to accompany documentation for Board decisions that certifies what inputs have been received and are included for consideration by the Board.
ICANN is posting an Input Tracking Checklist [DOC, 48 KB] that is to accompany all policy recommendations that come to the Board for decision. The checklist requires identification of key inputs and a summary of how those key inputs were considered.
The Input Tracking Checklist will change as needed to best reflect the status of inputs within ICANN. The first version of the decisional checklist was provided to the GNSO Council for review and consideration in August 2012, and Version 2 reflects improvements as suggested by members of the GNSO. If you have ideas for improvement to the Input Checklist, please submit to rec-20-checklist@icann.org. Revised checklists will be posted as available.
