Original link: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/new-icann-bylaws New ICANN Bylaws Author: Steve Crocker Today, on behalf of the ICANN Board, I am pleased to announce the adoption of the new ICANN Bylaws, which reflect changes made as a result of the IANA Stewardship Transition package of proposals. The new Bylaws are the result of hundreds of hours of work by the community and the legal teams. The Regional Internet Registries Service Level Agreement and Internet Engineering Task Force Memorandum of Understanding Supplemental Agreement have also been approved for signing and will go into effect after the transition. Later today, ICANN will be transmitting the new Bylaws to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). NTIA has previously stated that adoption of the new Bylaws is required for them to complete their review of the proposals, which is expected to occur in June. This is an important milestone for ICANN and the community. As we await the release of NTIA’s report, we continue to prepare for implementation of the transition proposals. We thank everyone for their continued hard work and support during this transition process. -- Hillary Jett Communications Coordinator Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Mobile: +1 (202) 674-3403 Email: hillary.jett(a)icann.org

This meeting will be focused on kicking off WS2 discussions, and scoping the various work items. As I said during the meeting, Icann’s suggestion for our consideration is that Icann provide support for the extra day for those CCWG-Accountability members intending to travel to the meeting B, and for those who were not planning to attend meeting B, that the remote participation is used. We hope that this information is useful to help each of you make the necessary arrangements, so that we can make this F2F successful and demonstrate the value of this event. I seize this opportunity, on behalf of the co chairs, to thank Bernie, Theresa and Xavier who liaised on our behalf with the Board Finance Committee to support our request.

Notes-Recordings-Transcript link for CCWG Accountability Meeting #94 - 31 May 2016
by MSSI Secretariat May 31, 2016

May 31, 2016

Hello all, The notes, recordings and transcripts for CCWG Accountability Meeting #94 - 31 May 2016 will be available here: https://community.icann.org/x/bkuAAw A copy of the notes may be found below. Thank you. With kind regards, Brenda Brewer MSSI Projects & Operations Assistant ICANN - Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers 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. Opening Remarks * Barrack Otieno on audio only 2. Budget discussion * TBenJemaa - Question about end of June deadline - just fiscal year. Work of sub-group is different than work parties. work of sub-groups is very important. Important to have transcription and the help of staff to draft. * TR - ICANN fiscal year is the only reason. for the second question let us hear more views on these topics. * SBachollet - 2 points - support for travel and participation to meeting - why are the co-chairs different and should be revised. B meeting will do a lot of work on WS2 topics and the co-chairs should participate. Second - Advisors - we should still have advisors. * OCavalli - Agree with Robin that not supporting members is not good. Diversity issue vs WS2 topics - how can we do this. * KArasteh - why do we need 9 groups? why not 4 or 20? Travel support is definitely an issue especially from developing economies. * PDeSilva - In favour of keeping the advisors. We may need to review areas of expertise for WS2 but we need them. We also need staff to draft documents. * JCarter - the topics are what they are and were agreed in Marrakech - they do not limit participation. Subgroups need to understand that they cannot present their results to the CCWG as a fait accompli - the CCWG will decide. * TRickert - transcripts and drafting - leadership will take these back to the chartering organizations to see if there is support for this. Similarly, for travel support. We need to come up with suggestions to streamline this and be more cost efficient vs WS1. Advisors we will get back to this later today. * RGross - transcripts are important. Advisors to join as other participants. CCWG MEMBERS should be supported to attend ICANN meeting. On combining some of the 9 topics - we need to be careful as some of those topics were already an amalgamation of a number of topics (transparency is an example of this). * TRickert - The 9 sub-teams seems an efficient approach but it is up to the group if they wish to readjust. * KArasteh - If a majority in favour of transcripts we should do it. 9 groups seems too large - combining some topics so we have less than 9 would facilitate participation. How many other face to face meetings and reconsider travel support? * AGreenberg - if we have costs they should be shared. For B meetings flying people half way around the world for 1 day makes no sense. * TRickert - Advisors? keep or not? * ADoria - If we are talking about limiting travel support advisors are not an issue. Their voices were valuable in WS1 and they provide a view on out work to a wider community. If the Advisors are not on our budget. * AGreenberg - if only travel expenses then we could decide when we need them at a meeting. * TRickert - we will work on the next version of this and then share with the group. * MWeill - JGannon - only 24 hours to finalize? we will try to negotiate an extension. 3. Preparation for WS2 kickoff in Helsinki * MWeill - this is to start our work on process so we do not have to do this in Helsinki. * MWeill - Diversity to be fixed on slide. * MWeill - Presentation of the slides. * Any questions comments? * JCancio - ad hoc meetings? * JHammer - issue of doing everything concurrently could create issues. * MWeill - yes the CCWG has to decide on this. This will be a challenge - but nothing is cast in stone at this point. * AGreenberg - ALAC will be discussing in Helsinki how to get more people involved in sub-groups who have something to contribute. * PTwomey - can people access the lightning talks remotely in Helsinki? * MWeill - yes interactive remote participation, transcripts etc. for Helsinki. Mostly plenary time in Helsinki. * TBenJemaa - question sub-groups in charge in public comments or CCWG. * MWeill - its a CCWG public comment. * (chat) Holly J. Gregory (Sidley): Bernie and Robin, Please see para 54 of Annex 04: "Guidelines for standards of conduct that will be presumed to be in good faith (for example, conducting reasonable due diligence as to the truthfulness of a statement) will be developed in Work Stream 2." * (chat) Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: Please try to review the document I circulated on 26-May, regarding how to synchronize ATRT3 and the 6 projects in WS2 that are about Accountability too prior to Helsinki. 4. AOB * LSanchez - would like to request our lawyers to respond on the Articles of Incorporation public consultation. Any objections? * HGregory - since these were drafted by Adler and reviewed by Sidley they do meet the CCWG requirements - no further comments needed. * JCancio - On articles I sent email and fits with what Holly said. It would be useful for us not following this closely to have a table to explain the changes vs our report. * LSanchez - we should certify this (footnotes) * (chat) jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland): - a table explaining each change and what part of the CCWG or ICG report they originate from * (chat) Holly J. Gregory (Sidley): Yes Jorge. We (Adler/Sidley) can prepare. * LSanchez - no other business 5. Adjourned.

Public Comment on the Articles of Incorporation
by Grace Abuhamad May 30, 2016

May 30, 2016

Dear all, Per the Board resolution earlier today, the Articles of Incorporation are now up for public comment: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/draft-restated-articles-incorporation…. Brief Overview Purpose: This Public Comment period seeks community input on the Draft Restated Articles of Incorporation developed to reflect the recommendations contained in the proposals by the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) and Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) as provided to the ICANN Board on 10 March 2016 and transmitted to NTIA. (See Resolutions 2016.03.10.12-15 and 2016.03.10.16-19) Current Status: The proposed draft of the Restated Articles of Incorporation was developed collaboratively by the ICANN legal team and the independent counsel hired to advise the CCWG-Accountability and the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship). Both the independent counsel to the community groups and ICANN's General Counsel agree that the draft Restated Articles are consistent with the community proposals relating to the IANA Stewardship Transition. Next Steps: Any interested party may review and provide feedback on the draft Restated Articles during the public comment period. The comments will be analyzed and incorporated for the ICANN Board prior to its consideration of the adoption of the Restated Articles. Restated Articles must be adopted as part of the implementation planning process. Once adopted, the Restated Articles are expected to filed and go into effect in the event NTIA approves of the IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal and the IANA Functions Contract expires. -- Grace Abuhamad Manager, Public Policy ICANN | Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers 801 17th Street NW, Suite 400 | Washington, DC 20006 Direct: +1 202 249 7545 | Mobile: +1 310 200 7638 Interested in the IANA Stewardship Transition?

Re: [CCWG-ACCT] New ICANN Bylaws
by Alan Greenberg May 30, 2016

May 30, 2016

There is a lot in the new Bylaws that presumes the transition, but most is from the CWG/ICG Proposals. There is not a lot in the Bylaws associated directly with the CCWG that related to the transition, but there are some. The sections on community powers and the IRP refer to PTI, for instance. Given the time line we have been on, it would have made absolutely no sense to devote time to creating a set of Bylaws presuming the transition, and a separate set presuming no transition. Even if time had permitted, it would be poor public relations to have a set of Bylaws ready and adopted presuming the transition fails. I have problems with some of the Bylaws adopted (as do we all, I guess), but after nearly two grueling years of work, I am glad that we have reached this stage. I am willing to take the Board's statements at face value, and presume that if the transition does fail, we will revisit these Bylaws, extract the parts that no longer apply, and move ahead with the accountability measures.

by Mathieu Weill May 30, 2016

May 30, 2016

Dear Colleagues, Some small edits were included in the Bylaws during the Bylaws coordination group that took place yesterday. During this call, our lawyers confirmed that all our comments have been adequately addressed. Conclusions were reached by consensus on all of the items for discussion flagged in the memo shared yesterday. As a consequence, we have confirmed to the Board that the Bylaws were consistent with the CCWG-Accountability proposal, and were ready for approval. We have also expressed our appreciation for the outstanding work from staff in turning all the comments around and providing clear documentation in the course of this finalization process. Best, Thomas, Leon & Mathieu PS: please see Bruce Tonkins latest email for an update on the Boards next steps, including adoption of the Articles.

Everyone has been saying all along that there's an "accountability deficit" in ICANN's current structure; the CCWG has come up with a proposal, endorsed by the Board, to remedy some/all of those existing deficiencies to make the institution more accountable; why should implementation of those revisions be dependent on the status of the IANA Functions Contract? To an outsider, this looks a little bit like the Board saying: unless you turn over all the marbles to us, we're not going to do the things we need to do to make the institution more accountable to the community, as though "accountability" were some sort of quid pro quo for the transfer of control over the IANA resources.
