by Bernard Turcotte Nov. 15, 2017

Nov. 15, 2017

All, As per its proposed schedule to complete its work by June 2018 the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 currently has 4 public consultations open: · Enhancing Accountability - Recommendations for Diversity – Open, closes 15 December - https://www.icann.org/public-comments/accountability-diversity-2017-10-26-en · Recommendations to Improve ICANN's Office of Ombudsman (IOO) – Open, closes 22 December - https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ioo-recs-2017-11-10-en · Enhancing Accountability – Recommendations for Jurisdiction – Open, closes 5 January - https://www.icann.org/public-comments/accountability-recs-2017-11-13-en · Enhancing Accountability – Recommendations and Guidelines for Staff Accountability – Open, closes 5 January. - https://www.icann.org/public-comments/recommendations-on-icann-jurisdiction… As explained and documented since ICANN 58 the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 will be publishing a final integrated report of all recommendations for public comment but will only be seeking comments on the resolution of any inconsistencies between the various individual report recommendations. As such, the community, including all SOs and ACs, are encouraged to provide any substantial comments they may have on the recommendations in the individual reports during the public consultations on these individual reports. The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 would like to take this occasion to remind the community that these recommendations will affect all parts of the ICANN community directly and as such the community is strongly encouraged to take the time to consider these and comment during the public comment period. It is also important to note that although all comments are considered equally that it is just as important for the community to show support for those recommendations they agree with. The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs Thomas Rickert, Jordan Carter and Tijani Ben Jemaa

[CCWG-ACCT] CCWG-Accountability-WS2-TravelFunding-ICANN61-Announcement - Final Reminder
by Bernard Turcotte Nov. 14, 2017

Nov. 14, 2017

All, Simply a reminder that the application process for Travel Funding for ICANN 61 closes this Sunday 19 November 23:50 UTC as per the original message below. Cheers Bernard Turcotte ICANN Staff Support to the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bernard Turcotte <turcotte.bernard(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Oct 12, 2017 at 2:46 PM Subject: CCWG-Accountability-WS2-TravelFunding-ICANN61-Announcement To: Accountability Cross Community <accountability-cross-community(a)icann.org > All, ** The CCWG-Accountability has travel funding for some Members and Rapporteurs to attend the Face to Face meetings held the day prior to an ICANN meeting who do not have any other funding available to them to attend. Members are those individuals that are specifically appointed by the chartering SO/ACs to the CCWG-Accountability - the list of Members can be found at https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780 . Rapporteurs are those listed as such on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki for specific sub-groups located at https://community.icann. org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics. Please see the attached policy for details regarding this funding. If you are not a Member or a Rapporteur, please do not apply as there is a very limited number of seats available. The next Face to Face meeting of the CCWG-accountability will be held on Friday 9 March 2017 in conjunction with ICANN 61 in Puerto Rico. . Those Members and Rapporteurs wishing to be considered for travel funding should fill out the attached form and submit it by Sunday 19 November 23:59 UTC to Acct-Staff(a)icann.org. The funding is for the Face- to- Face meeting, which can include airfare, hotel and a per-diem allocation for meals for attending the Face to Face meeting only (and not the full ICANN meeting). However, in analyzing the requests the Co-Chairs will consider requests for partial funding (such as only an additional day of hotel and per diem to attend the Face to Face meeting) in order to maximize participation. As such Members are encouraged to only apply for what they need to allow for funding as many Members and Rapporteurs as possible. The final decisions on travel funding will be made by the Co-Chairs and published on the CCWG-Accountability WS2 wiki at https://community.icann. org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support within 3 days of the application period closing (a confirmation of the posting will be sent to the CCWG email list). Those being supported will then be contacted by ICANN Travel using the standard ICANN travel funding process to arrange details. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the CCWG-Accountability support staff at Acct-Staff(a)icann.org . Bernard Turcotte ICANN Staff Support to the CCWG-Accountability for the Co-Chairs. ======================================= ** *CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Supported Travel Request Form* You are eligible for travel support from the CCWG-Accountability only if you are an officially appointed member of WS2 from a chartering SO or AC or if you are an officially listed Rapporteur for a WS2 sub-group.

CCWG-Accountability-WS2-GoodFaith-Recommendations-DocumentV2.0 - Online Approval request
by Bernard Turcotte Nov. 6, 2017

Nov. 6, 2017

*CCWG-Accountability-WS2* *Approval of final recommendations on recommendations on Guidelines for standards of conduct presumed to be in good faith associated with exercising removal of individual Directors of the ICANN Board* All, The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 approved these draft recommendations for public consultations on 22 February 2017. The public consultation was open from 7 March to 22 April 2017 and produced 5 generally supportive comments except for one comment with respect to the ASO. At the ICANN 59 meeting in June 2017 the rapporteur met with the ASO to discuss the situation with them and agreed to provide edits which would address their concerns. The updated version was provided to the ASO at the end of August 2017 and the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 received confirmation from the ASO at ICANN 60 that the updated version adequately addressed their concerns. Given the changes are not significant the Co-Chairs feel that the plenary can approve this updated version of the draft recommendations on the list. If approved by the plenary these draft recommendations will not be published for a second public comment period and will become final recommendations which will be included in the WS2 Final Report. As such please find attached a red-line version of the document which shows the changes from the version originally approved by the plenary in February 2017. If there are no significant issues brought up by participants on the list by Monday 13 November 23:59 UTC the Co-Chairs will consider that the plenary has approved these draft recommendations. If there are significant issues the Co-Chairs will include this for discussion at the next plenary meeting.

Re: [CCWG-ACCT] Proposed Addition to Jurisdiction Subgroup Report

Good write-up.

Therefore, the Subgroup suggests that a further other multistakeholder process of some kind should be considered to allow for further consideration, and potentially resolution, of these concerns. We believe that this Report, with its annexes, can be a very useful tool for further debates which will surely take place – whether in another cross-constituency effort or in a future ATRT Review, or in some other ICANN context. The appropriate forum for such discussions is beyond the mandate of the CCWG; however, we encourage the community to build on the work of the Subgroup and prior work in this area. _______________________________________________ Accountability-Cross-Community mailing list Accountability-Cross-Community(a)icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/accountability-cross-community

CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Answer on ombuds
by Bernard Turcotte Nov. 4, 2017

Nov. 4, 2017

Form Samantha Eisner: The answer to the question of: "The ultimate responsibility for the Ombuds office must remain with the Board »² is yes. There has to be a line of accountability from the Ombuds to the Board. This is particularly important as it is the Board¹s obligation to make sure that the Bylaws requirements are met appropriately, and also consdiering the internal access that the Ombuds is granted and the focus of ³internal² evaluation. This does not mean that that others cannot give inputs to the Board on that relationship with the Ombudsman. ‹ Samantha Eisner Deputy General Counsel, ICANN 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, California 90094 USA Direct Dial: +1 310 578 8631
