Notes-Recordings-Transcript links for CCWG ACCT Meeting #48, 11 August
by Kimberly Carlson Aug. 11, 2015

Aug. 11, 2015

Hello all, The notes, recordings and transcripts for the CCWG ACCT meeting #48 - 11 August will be available here: https://community.icann.org/x/jY9CAw A copy of the notes and action items may be found below. Thank you Best regards, Kim ACTION Items ACTION ITEM CoChairs to double check whether there are areas on which the CCWG can shed more light and to reach out to ICG to ensure the community has appropriate information. ACTION ITEM: Kavouss to send his calendar source to staff and Cochairs to determine error. ACTION ITEM: Staff to accommodate a webinar mid public comment period. ACTION ITEM: Subgroup to gather language that has been suggested and to put together a strawman text (Bylaw) along with rationale for CCWG discussion by mid September. This timeline will allow for conclusion in final report. Nigel is to coordinate. ACTION ITEM: Thomas is to follow up on Kavouss' suggestion to have analysis subgroups for PC2. ACTION ITEM: Kavouss to send details on report gaps. ACTION ITEM - Becky to produce correction ACTION ITEM: Share any items you believe need clarification in the report to the list Notes These high-level notes are designed to help you navigate through content of the call and do not substitute in any way the transcript. 1. Greg Shatan and Nigel Roberts on phone. Reminder: you are invited to fill in your statement of interest if incomplete. Staff is happy to assist. 2. Webinars You are encouraged to spread the archives of the webinar. It is important that we get as much visibility as possible and as much community feedback as possible. There is a possibility to add another webinar towards the end of public comment period. Please let your respective communities know that we are happy to accommodate. We have received interesting questions from participants. They have been captured. Q&A will be published on our wiki. We are applying final touches and it will be published shortly after this call. Feedback: - Invitations should be sent in UTC. Conflicting messages were sent in other webinars: e.g. PTI related comment on ICG webinar. Suggestion to review questions and answers. If answers require further clarification, we may want to consider providing further clarification. The document is complex even for those who have folllowed CCWG carefully. The third webinar should be scheduled 15 days prior to deadline. ACTION ITEM CoChairs to double check whether there are areas on which the CCWG can shed more light and to reach out to ICG to ensure the community has appropriate information. ACTION ITEM: Kavouss to send his calendar source to staff and Cochairs to determine error. ACTION ITEM: Staff to accommodate a webinar mid public comment period. PC2 We have received two comments and will begin analyzing the comments before the comment period ends. PC1 PC1 responses are being reviewed by Rapporteurs are finalizing comments. The report is due on 19 August. Comments have made their way into the recently published report - as appropriate. We are confirming work that has already been done. This group is being transparent to community about how comments were processed. Feedback: - We should not be focusing on this now. --> We committed to providing detailed analysis and response. - We need to record what we have done. It is a part of completion process. It is essential to document it. - It is unfortunate we did not focus on responses as we did work. We have to do this. 3. Human Rights There was a very vivid discussion about HR. We agreed to include a reference to human rights in our report acknowledging that there is more work to be done (see section in Work Stream 2). We have not been able to come up with consensus language and have provided language that was in discussion (paragraph 152). We have set up a mailing-list for discussing this issue. We have discussed whether we should be meeting in Dublin. The objective is to discuss expectation of WG. Feedback: - We cannot amend PC2 but we should be prepared to discuss in Dublin. We should look into Human Rights as a whole. - The subgroup needs to come up with a simple statement for Bylaws. We need to flesh out a set of topics that will need to covered in WS2. - What does Human Rights mean in ICANN context? We have to know what we are saying when we put this statement into the Bylaws. Board has underlying documents to explain what bylaws is. A lot needs to be done in terms of implementation. - On our to-do list: 1) Bylaw change; 2) common understanding of what we are putting into Bylaw (understanding of what fundamental rights is) ; 3) identify list for Work Stream 2. We must draw clear delineated boundaries. - We have to be aware that we are putting this for technical and business community, not for diplomats. We need to be careful as well in context of independent review panel. We are getting caught up in definitions. - Remain high level, not simple. We should avoid political motivation. - We need to clarify in which field it can be applied and in which it cannot be applied to avoid any polemics. CONCLUSION: Agree on high level statement. ACTION ITEM: Subgroup to gather language that has been suggested and to put together a strawman text (Bylaw) along with rationale for CCWG discussion by mid September. This timeline will allow for conclusion in final report. Nigel is to coordinate. 4 PC2 We will be using PC1 tool for consistency. Staff is incorporating comments as they arrive. Staff will implement timezone rotation to ensure it is up-to-date asap. Staff will also be providing weekly summary of input received to Chairs/Rapporteurs. Feedback: - Suggest using subgroups for analysis. ACTION ITEM: Thomas is to follow up on Kavouss' suggestion to have analysis subgroups for PC2. 5. Outreach This agenda item is to give you the opportunity to relay comments you have received from your communities. Early warning system helps us a great deal. - Note: there is possibility to post comment to NTIA. Feedback: - Presentation of Core Values: columns should include existing 11 core values and amendments to these. Comparison is needed. Detected report gaps: example: 211-228 ACTION ITEM: Kavouss to send details on report gaps. - We need to include original ones (third column). It is very confusing. ACTION ITEM - Becky to produce correction. - Suggestion to have a repository for issues. Use a simple English approach (e.g. compact is very difficult to understand). Proofreading is desirable. ACTION ITEM: Share any items you believe need clarification in the report to the list. - Report puts GAC in a disadvantage position. --> We are not changing anything with GAC advice. There is no intention to marginalize GAC advice 6. A.O.B /

Public Comment (PC1) Update
by Alice Jansen Aug. 11, 2015

Aug. 11, 2015

On behalf of CCWG CoChairs Dear all, We have recently received requests for an update on status of our summary of the contributions received on our first draft proposal (May 2015). Please know that we are in the process of finalizing a very thorough summary which addresses comments on an individual basis. The Rapporteurs are currently incorporating final responses, polishing analysis, thanking contributors and adjusting responses in light of proposal 2, as needed. We are working towards 19 August as the posting date for the PC 1 public comment summary. We felt it was imperative that the summary be as exhaustive as possible and thank you for your patience and understanding. We will adopt a similar approach for PC 2 (public comment on second draft proposal) and are working closely with ICANN staff on defining an efficient approach. Thank you Best regards León, Thomas, Mathieu

Fwd: Sub-group on ICANN Accountability and Fundamental Rights
by Nigel Roberts Aug. 10, 2015

Aug. 10, 2015

Dear All I was wondering if somehow we might arrange a get-together of those interested in the topic, in Dublin. If you are one of the people who expressed a 'me too', you should have just received the below, from me. (If you didn't but would have expected to, please say!). N. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Sub-group on ICANN Accountability and Fundamental Rights Date: Sun, 02 Aug 2015 20:16:25 +0100 From: Nigel Roberts <nigel(a)channelisles.net> To: deinhorn(a)bakerlaw.com, stephanie.perrin(a)mail.utoronto.ca, seun.ojedeji(a)gmail.com, Dr Eberhard W Lisse <el(a)lisse.na>, jordan(a)internetnz.net.nz, malcolm(a)linx.net, leonfelipe(a)sanchez.mx, mshears(a)cdt.org, robin(a)ipjustice.org, dmcauley(a)verisign.com, egmorris1(a)toast.net CC: mathieu.weill(a)afnic.fr, rickert(a)anwaelte.de Dear Colleagues I have just spent the last 10 minutes or so going through the 'metoo' messages on the main list. I think I have collected here the list of all Members and Participants who have expressed an interest in either participating in the work of the proposed sub-team, or alternatively who wish to lurk and read the mail (I make no distinction at this stage between the two). The purpose of this mail is, essentially, a check call. Unless you have received this email in error (i.e. you are NOT wishing to be involved), you need not reply. I'll post something to the main listshortly . .

Volume 9: An Update on IANA Stewardship Discussions
by Grace Abuhamad Aug. 10, 2015

Aug. 10, 2015

Dear all, Original link: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/an-update-on-iana-stewardship-discussions-en Volume 9: An Update on IANA Stewardship Discussions <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/an-update-on-iana-stewardship-discussions- en#> <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/an-update-on-iana-stewardship-discussions-e n#> <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/an-update-on-iana-stewardship-discussions-e n#> <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/an-update-on-iana-stewardship-discussions-e n#> <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/an-update-on-iana-stewardship-discussions-e n#> <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/an-update-on-iana-stewardship-discussions-e n#> A major milestone reached as two key proposals open for public comment The transition of IANA's stewardship is now another step nearer as two key proposals are opened for public comment: * The Consolidated IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal by the ICG * The 2nd Draft Report on Work Stream 1 Recommendations by the CCWG-Accountability The final version of both these proposals will eventually be submitted to the ICANN Board of Directors, who will transfer them to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA <http://www.ntia.doc.gov/> ). More information on these proposals, and how you can comment on their contents, is below. Consolidated IANA stewardship transition proposal now open for public comment On 31 July, the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG <http://www.ianacg.org/> ) announced the start of the public comment period <https://www.ianacg.org/calls-for-input/combined-proposal-public-comment-per iod/> for the Proposal to Transition the Stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Functions from the U.S. Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to the Global Multistakeholder Community <https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-prop osal-EN.pdf> . The proposal consists of the three proposals that have already reached consensus among the Domain Names, Numbering Resources and Protocol Parameters communities, as well as a report by the ICG, which includes an assessment of whether the three proposals: * Were developed using open and inclusive community processes, and whether they achieved consensus; * Are complete and clear; * Are compatible and interoperable, provide appropriate and properly supported accountability mechanisms, and are workable; and * Together meet the NTIA's criteria <http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2014/ntia-announces-intent-transition -key-internet-domain-name-functions> . The ICG notes that as the proposals have already undergone extensive public comment and discussion <https://www.ianacg.org/calls-for-input/combined-proposal-public-comment-per iod/#completedcommentperiods> amongst the three operational communities, this public comment period is focused on how the three proposals work together as a whole and how it fares against the criteria established by NTIA for the transition. The proposal will be available for public comment for 40 days. Following community input during the comment period, the ICG will decide whether to recommend that NTIA approve the transition proposal. The proposal will be available shortly in all six official United Nations (UN) languages and Portuguese, but is currently only available in English <https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-prop osal-EN.pdf> . The news release about the proposal, however, is available now in these seven languages, with all translations linked from the English version <https://www.ianacg.org/news-release-icg-seeking-public-input-on-key-interne t-governance/> . Key links * IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal <https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-prop osal-EN.pdf> 199 pages * Call for public comments <https://www.ianacg.org/calls-for-input/combined-proposal-public-comment-per iod/> including 12 questions about specific issues the ICG is seeking feedback on * Archive of public comments received <https://www.ianacg.org/calls-for-input/iana-stewardship-transition-proposal -public-archive-of-submitted-comments/> How to submit a public comment You can comment on the proposal, taking into account the ICG's 12 questions <https://www.ianacg.org/calls-for-input/combined-proposal-public-comment-per iod/#callforcomment> , by 8 September 2015, 23:59 UTC (convert to your time zone <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=ICG+proposal+publi c+comment+closes&iso=20150908T235959&p1=%3A> ).

To help better understand the contents and context of the draft proposal, you may wish to join one of thetwo following webinars <https://www.ianacg.org/iana-stewardship-transition-coordination-group-icg-t o-host-webinars-in-conjunction-with-call-for-public-comment/> live: * 6 August, 19:00 20:30 UTC (time zone converter here <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=ICG+Webinar+1&iso= 20150806T19&ah=1&am=30> ) * 7 August, 11:00 12:30 UTC (time zone converter here <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=ICG+Webinar+2&iso= 20150807T11&ah=1&am=30> ) The webinars will also be live interpreted in the six UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish) and Portuguese and the recording posted shortly afterward. The transcript will also be translated and posted after the webinars. CCWG-Accountability On 3 August, the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability <https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/CCWG+on+Enhancing+ICANN+A ccountability> ) released its 2nd Draft Proposal on Work Stream 1 Recommendations <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-draft-2-proposal-work-stre am-1-recs-03aug15-en.pdf> . Since the first version <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cwg-accountability-draft-propos al-with-annexes-04may15-en.pdf> of the proposal was released on 4 May <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-accountability-draft-proposal-20 15-05-04-en> , the CCWG-Accountability has taken a very open and agile approach to finding creative solutions to problems identified in previous iterations of their proposals. The second version also addresses a number of outstanding issues not fully fleshed out in the first draft. The most significant changes between the two drafts are: * Mechanism to empower the ICANN community The mechanism has undergone significant changes: in the May draft, there were two alternatives presented member model and delegate model; following feedback received during the public comment period, the CCWG-Accountability brainstormed alternatives at ICANN53 in June, resulting in the development of an Empowered SO/AC model. Resulting from subsequent discussions at a face-to-face meeting in Paris in July, this second draft proposal presents the Community Mechanism as Sole Member Model. * Four additional stress tests The new stress tests have been added following suggestions contained in the Larry Strickling's 16 June blog post <http://www.ntia.doc.gov/blog/2015/stakeholder-proposals-come-together-icann -meeting-argentina> on the NTIA website. * Refinements to key elements contained in the first draft These refinements include: * ICANN Mission & Core Values * Removal of individual ICANN Board Directors and recall of the entire Board * Independent Review Process * Community power regarding ICANN's budget * Work plan for Work Stream 2 (including adding a commitment to human rights in the ICANNBylaws) * Implementation plan for Work Stream 1 The proposal also includes "minority views", which are statements by CCWG-Accountability members and participants who object to recommendations contained in the report. Additional minority views received after 1 August will be available here <https://community.icann.org/x/6oxCAw> . The proposal will be available for public comment for 40 days. After the public comment period closes, the CCWG-Accountability aims to finalize its Work Stream 1 proposal for submission to its Chartering Organizations (GNSO, ALAC, ccNSO, GAC, ASO and SSAC) and then to the ICANN Board of Directors during or shortly after ICANN54 in Dublin. The proposal will then be submitted to the NTIA, along with the IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal. After Work Stream 1 is completed, the CCWG-Accountability will focus on Work Stream 2, which consists of accountability enhancements that do not need to be in place for the IANA stewardship transition to occur.

Translations Update

Aug. 8, 2015

Dear all, In an effort to shorten the turnaround time for translations, the staff support team has been working closely with ICANN¹s Language Services department and translating the 2nd Draft Report by sections (following on the CCWG¹s drafting methodology). As you¹ll see on the Wiki page <https://community.icann.org/x/pKs0Aw> , many of these sections have been translated only days after the Public Comment period opened. We expect to have the translation process completed by the end of next week, including the translations of the full compiled draft. Please share these translations in your regions and encourage non-English speakers to submit comments. Wiki page with translations by section: https://community.icann.org/x/pKs0Aw This turnaround time is unprecedented at ICANN, so let¹s celebrate this historic moment! :) Grace
