Venue - 23-24 March meeting
by Alice Jansen Feb. 24, 2015

Feb. 24, 2015

Dear all, We would like to confirm the dates and location for the next face-to-face meeting which has been scheduled to align with deliverables. Dates: 23-24 March 2015 (two full working days) Venue: Hilton İstanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center SILAHSOR CAD. NO: 42 BOMONTI-SISLI, ISTANBUL, 34381, TURKEY (see map here<http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/turkey/hilton-istanbul-bomonti-hotel-and-c…>) Please note that this will also be the venue for the CWG-stewardship face-to-face meeting on 26-27 March, which was scheduled to comply with the CWG-stewardship's respective project plan and timeline. CWG-CCWG leaderships agreed in a coordination meeting that holding their respective face-to-face meetings in the same location was the best way to use resources, and also achieve the desired degree of coordination. In light of the groups' geographical statistics and given the limited time window available for planning, the Co-Chairs considered locations that would be most efficient for membership travel. It was determined that Europe would be a desirable landing point. Co-chairs have worked with ICANN staff to determine a location for these separate meetings. Accessibility (international hubs) was used as a key search criteria. The meeting only being a few weeks away and the groups being significantly large and having quite specific technical requirements for remote participation, etc., the number of options was narrowed to a limited number of cities and venues able to accommodate the meetings. Availability of accommodation was also factored in. Mindful of the groups' diversity and to ensure maximum attendance in the meetings, the Co-Chairs decided that Istanbul would be the most suitable location. The Co-Chairs reached this decision based on, among other things, an analysis of visa procedures: Turkey delivers evisas for most countries. In addition, Istanbul is a major hub for flights, and a doorway to Asia and Europe. Please note that the meeting will be webcast live through Adobe Connect and include remote participation capabilities consistent with the CCWG meetings held to date. The working session will also be recorded and transcribed. We invite you to confirm your in-person presence by sending an RSVP to acct-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:acct-staff@icann.org> by Monday, 2 March COB. Please note that only the 26 members, the ATRT Expert, and the ICG Liaisons are eligible for travel funding. Participants are welcome to attend the F2F meeting at their own expense. We thank you for your understanding of the planning challenges and encourage you to contact ICANN staff should you have any questions or need any assistance with visa procedures. Best regards, Alice

CCWG-Accountability F2F
by Dr Eberhard W Lisse Feb. 24, 2015

Feb. 24, 2015

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, Can we please publish the dates of all planned Face-to-Face meetings immediately? Some of us work for a living and re-arranging my practice schedule for one is a real nuisance unless I know well in advance. March is already an issue for me and I doubt I will be able to make it even by remote participation (as it is in the same time zone) but I need to especially know about May, so I can block this out. 2015-05-01 and 2015-05-04 are public holidays here in Namibia and this year very pleasantly located. So if it was 2015-05-04/05 it would not interfere much. If not it'll be not too bad, as long as I know well in advance. Location is not so much of importance, especially if it is in a major hub, but if it could be narrowed down to the hub as soon as possible it would help with keeping airfare costs down by early booking. greetings, el -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIVAwUBVOL3OZcFHaN5RT+rAQI+wQ//fj7riHIsWiBHDA8oKaP49Qy32SdbRNBa 5fXIN2f2XLCN3EtjknE4RLNJi1NTU+7+1V0uXTCNijt9LxEhMHRIPO6yGWH5WLOz CQFhNPbb33a/ydmgjYKSMck/kvtYsmjuS+Svq/pkQoC2RfJoCRLG2v+3hos36+0U QIgcduKlB/5S3TbH6V0CN3LtgNsO22n2jxTzQfuXnkhc9oA9+DI/VJao5Ev8OJcD quK97akKLbzdQetdqRKOOxC0gjmPu8UJuJXseKF7z5znaarxceqE4Q3VoyZCEXN7 QXxIXiFLmt9BPY+6h2lJJluDTD5NtCTffK4+NDTn1Un9fsweHFU1rBensGok926A GE5tpylFf9eqi25jYvTfNcCLTEKEcjoityc5I1zz9mm+2Nya/y2CpGgI0AWNeHIm pQhuAlRLJwC3s5ZCHHw4yii8JeLizB8+tbcP2oy5trT+Ctv0bUydELTrntaw/ISI TQxGpmzQt4SUSt2rAj/Dm5KgUAFer1Cx8UPwA6hd6OjA1oPHQHja09O5iYblFUYZ rfieI0XHtNt0w06pAdYazAWUKtjDlrdDokFHBpqnkiX3OIm1uY+a5YR5jlYjs9zV xxxPmk5ehGRybNwX9FRXxyXfYbSN4nx1jv2zmik7U4wR6C9U+vwRlr11axXCOpb5 fuOHFM+yoPA= =5wgE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

GCC v ICANN emergency IRP panel declaration published
by Jacob Malthouse Feb. 23, 2015

Feb. 23, 2015

All, An ICDR emergency arbitrator declaration regarding the ICANN v GCC case has been published here: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/interim-declaration-emergency-p… The declaration may have implications for efficacy of ICANN community decision making, given that it seems to suggest an IRP is valid even absent CEP for over a year from the date of an apparent Board action based on even slight interaction between ICANN staff and a complainant during the interim. Best regards, Jacob. Jacob Malthouse Co-founder & Director, Big Room Inc. 778-960-6527 www.bigroom.ca

Re: [CCWG-ACCT] Additional Document for discussion
by Burr, Becky Feb. 23, 2015

Feb. 23, 2015

I have made a quick attempt to articulate the standard of behavior against which ICANN might be measured for accountability purposes. It roughly corresponds to the Mission Statement and Core Values in the ICANN bylaws today, but has some additions that and modifications consistent with various suggestions that I’ve heard from the group. If I missed your suggestion, please accept my apologies. This is just to start the discussion. J.

one world trust report - summary
by Adam Peake Feb. 21, 2015

Feb. 21, 2015

Hi everyone. Attached is a summary of a One World Trust report "ICANN Accountability Benchmarks and Metrics". The full report <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/benchmarks-consultancy-28feb14 -en.pdf> was sent to the list a few weeks ago, and there were a couple of questions recently. Summary produced by Larisa Gurnick of ICANN's strategic initiatives team. Jan Scholte was involved with OWT's work. I hope the summary's useful, the report proposed an accountability framework and several suggestions for improving ICANN accountability. Larisa introduces these and mentions a few recommended improvements. Best, Adam
