- Accountability-Cross-Community

initial legal responses to our questions
by Thomas Rickert Feb. 8, 2015

Feb. 8, 2015

All, may I kindly ask we discuss this subject tomorrow during our session? Remember, we got this initial legal feedback because we asked for it. We did not want to wait until our legal sub team has finished its work on a scoping document. We will discuss the topic tomorrow, which will be the ideal opportunity to exchange thoughts and avoid further misunderstandings. At least the document has stimulated a discussion on potential outcomes. Thomas

Reminder: Staff List
by Grace Abuhamad Feb. 8, 2015

Feb. 8, 2015

Dear all, I have written to the CCWG-Accountability about this before, but I would like to remind you that we have a staff address for your convenience. This address, <acct-staff(a)icann.org <applewebdata://DAD5E723-A82A-4635-8AC4-509B4EA08F8F> > sends a message to Adam, Alice, Berry, Brenda, and me so that we can assist you. This way we can provide support across timezones and direct messages, requests, etc to specific staff depending on what is needed. Please note that anyone can send to this address, so you can share this with anyone who has questions about the CCWG, would like to join, etc. We hope this is helpful to you. If you have any feedback for improvements to staff support, please let us know. Best, Acct-Staff :)

[CCWG-Accountability] Accountability Definitions and scoping
by Mathieu Weill Feb. 8, 2015

Feb. 8, 2015

Dear Colleagues, Please find attached a document drafted by the co-Chairs intended to provide baseline definitions for our work. It is designed to address some of the early questions we raised such as to whom should Icann be accountable ? What is the purpose of Icann's accountability ? or what is accountability ? We provide the document for your reading before the meeting but I will introduce the document during our call tomorrow, and comments will be welcome during the call or after on this email thread. We are well aware of the importance of the choice of words in the definitions and of their consequences for guiding the work of our group going forward. This document is a strawman, so feedback in the form of proposed edits will be much appreciated. Best, -- ***************************** Mathieu WEILL AFNIC - directeur général Tél: +33 1 39 30 83 06 mathieu.weill(a)afnic.fr Twitter : @mathieuweill *****************************

What Board We Want?
by Dr Eberhard W Lisse Feb. 8, 2015

Feb. 8, 2015

Dear Co-Chairs, I am somewhat confused by the response by Thomas Rickert and Mathieu Weill 9and in particular Johnathan Zuck's remarks) to Mike Silber's question what type of Board we want (in the context of the CCWG-Accountability). Can you please point me to the the notes where we have discussed this? I have missed 2 calls, could have been then. Otherwise I only recall that I have mentioned this very issue in the context of adding additional layers of bureaucracy instead of fixing the Bord. greetings, el

Hundreds of Emails per Day
by Dr Eberhard W Lisse Feb. 8, 2015

Feb. 8, 2015

Dear Co-Chairs, I have not received the "hundreds of emails per day" from this list, that Bruce Tonkin apparently does, as per his statement in the meeting with the Board. Can you perhaps ask staff to analyze our mailing list archives on a by month basis with tools such as grepmail and MailListStat (or preferably more sophisticated ones) and publish the results to the list. greetings, el

With be good to communicate to everyone
by Seun Ojedeji Feb. 8, 2015

Feb. 8, 2015

Hello all, Considering that not everyone is(will be) present in the sessions of the CCWG here is Singapore. Perhaps it will be helpful for people who writes to the list to make full/proper reference to their statements. There is already a few comments on the list written in assumption that everyone was present in the session; i fear more of it will come within the week hence the early observation. For instance its not helpful to all the say a statement similar to below: " why did Mr XYZ make that statement, did we discuss it at all" What might be helpful will be: "Mr XYZ just said ABC during one of the CCWG sessions, did we discuss that at all" Thanks for being considerate Cheers! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Seun Ojedeji,Federal University Oye-Ekitiweb: http://www.fuoye.edu.ng <http://www.fuoye.edu.ng> Mobile: +2348035233535**alt email: <http://goog_1872880453>seun.ojedeji(a)fuoye.edu.ng <seun.ojedeji(a)fuoye.edu.ng>* The key to understanding is humility - my view !

Updated WP1 Working Doc: Scope, Powers and Mechanisms
by Jordan Carter Feb. 7, 2015

Feb. 7, 2015

Dear CCWG members, and WP1 colleagues Please find attached the results of an informal working session on the document on Scope Power and Mechanisms for our WP1 - it's basically our working document. We attach PDF and .docx versions showing a clean revised copy and a red-lined comparison showing the changes. We are circulating this broadly to allow it to be used during the meetings next week should this be required. The WP has not yet had a formal meeting so the standing of this document is strictly a working doc, without full input at all so far. ICANN staff will post this on the Wiki in a working docs page, which I think Grace will circulate a link to at the appropriate time. Thank you to the people who could contribute to this in Singapore, and I look forward to working with you all as we move ahead. cheers Jordan -- Jordan Carter Chief Executive *InternetNZ* 04 495 2118 (office) | +64 21 442 649 (mob) jordan(a)internetnz.net.nz Skype: jordancarter *To promote the Internet's benefits and uses, and protect its potential.*
