These four advisory committees remain in operation today. The SSAC, RSSAC, and ALAC are each reviewed subject to [[ICANN Reviews#Organizational Reviews|ICANN's Bylaws regarding Organizational Reviews]]. Under the same provisions, the GAC is responsible for conducting its own review of its operations and effectiveness.

The [[First Accountability and Transparency Review]] recommended that the board seek methods of soliciting and incorporating advice into its decision making process in a more defined and transparent manner:
<blockquote>6. The Board should clarify, as soon as possible but no later than June 2011 the distinction between issues that are properly subject to ICANN’s policy development processes and those matters that are properly within the executive functions performed by the ICANN staff and Board and, as soon as practicable, develop complementary mechanisms for consultation in appropriate circumstances with the relevant SOs and ACs on administrative and executive issues that will be addressed at Board level.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/final-recommendations-31dec10-en.pdf ATRT1 Final Recommendations], December 31, 2010 (PDF)</ref></blockquote>
While more broadly addressing transparency in issue identification and decision making by the board, the recommendation spurred an examination of the board's decision making, and the timing and evaluation of advice from the ACs.<ref name="pcrec6>[https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/community-input-and-advice-process-24-09-2012 Public Comment Proceeding - Community Input and Advice], September 24, 2012</ref> The board identified three primary decision making processes that it engages in: review and approval of policy development processes; "Organizational Administrative Functions" that often "require or [benefit] from" public comment or AC advice; and Organizational Administrative Functions where no comment is sought (human resources matters, approval of minutes, appointment of board committee members and leaders, etc.).<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/accountability/consultation-clarification-24sep12-en.pdf ATRT Recommendation 6: Clarification of Consultation Models], September 24, 2012</ref> the board identified the current models for receiving inputs in the first two categories of decision making, and instructed the Board Governance Committee to seek further input from the community regarding how to improve or expand those models.<ref name="pcrec6" />
