===Holistic Review===
 +
In 2021 the [[Third Accountability and Transparency Review]] recommended the creation of a [[ICANN Holistic Review|Holistic Review]] that would transform the organizational review process. Under the recommended model, SOs and ACs would move to "continuous improvement" review cycles, and the findings and outcomes of those improvement processes would be part of the input for a new holistic review, designed to capture the overall health of the organization as well as its constituent parts. The Board approved a pilot of the Holistic Review to be conducted in 2022. On April 25, 2022, [[Avri Doria]] announced that the pilot was underway, with team members being drawn from the [[Organizational Effectiveness Committee]], the ATRT3 [[Implementation Shepherd]]s, and other members of the ATRT3 review team.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-preparing-to-launch-the-pilot-holistic-review-25-04-2022-en ICANN.org Blog - ICANN Preparing to Launch the Pilot Holistic Review]], April 25, 2022</ref> The team was working on a Terms of Reference (TOR) for the review pilot,<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/atrt/Holistic+Review+Pilot+ToR+-+Tracking+Tool ATRT3 Workspace - Holistic Review Pilot TOR Tracking Tool]</ref> with an expectation that the TOR would be published in July 2022 for public comment.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment ICANN.org - Upcoming Public Comment Periods] as of June 2022</ref>

===ATRT3===
 +
The [[Third Accountability and Transparency Review]] proposed sweeping alterations to Article 4 review processes. The recommendations on reforming the review process included:
 +
* the creation of a "Holistic Review" intended to assess the continuous improvement of each organization subject to an Article 4.4 organizational review and take a holistic look at the structure and operation of ICANN to determine if there were changes or improvements to be made to better support representation of all of ICANN's diverse constituencies;
 +
* a recommendation to temporarily suspend SSR and RDS reviews until the completion of the next ATRT review, at which point the environment around each of those reviews would have sufficiently matured to allow an evaluation of their necessity, functioning, and ongoing purpose;
 +
* evolution of the Article 4.4 organizational reviews into "continuous improvement" programs with uniform metrics for measuring success, but tailored goals and strategies that reflected the needs of the specific organization. These programs would be annually evaluated, and the evaluations would feed into and inform the Holistic Reviews.

The Board approved all of the ATRT3 recommendations, including those related to reviews, subject to prioritization and resource availability. Because the new proposed framework for reviews would require substantial amendments to Article 4 of the bylaws, the Board proposed the development and implementation of pilot programs to design and test models of the Holistic Review and continuous improvement program. That work is ongoing.
