Opening Remarks Audio only: Seun Ojedeji Review of the timeline: * Document went out for review on 12 Feb. * Review period closed on 14 Feb at 22:00 UTC. * All the lawyers' markups (for the most part, minor changes for consistency) have been published to the CCWG list. * The report will go to Chartering Orgs on 18 Feb. * Between now and then, there is time for the CCWG members to submit minority statements. Minority statements can only be submitted by CCWG members (appointed by Chartering Organizations). 2. Comments on the Supplementary Report Review of comments received and incorporated by staff: * Andrew Sullivan -- clarifications on removal for non-voting liaisons (see email here: <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2016-February/0...> http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2016-February/0...). Will not change the substance of the recommendation, but ensure that the text is clear * Izumi Okutani -- ensuring that exclusion for numbers is applied to recommendations for IRP and Reconsideration * Graphics will be updated, but were not done in time for the report publications on 12 Feb due to late instruction to designers. * Brett Schaefer -- Annex 6 and consistency notes for annex 2, 14. * Kavouss Arasteh -- Language in Rec 1 needs to be more clear. * In Rec 5, there were side-by-side comparison updates needed for some sections. Becky Burr has provided and updated the tables today (not new language) Action: Kavouss to submit edits in writing to specify change(s) needed/requested Additional changes: * Brett Schaefer -- Rec 1, page 8, first bullet: request to define the term consensus. (Absence of objection). * Brett Schaefer -- Annex 2: change language for consistency "may be..." * Brett Schaefer -- Last section of Annex 4 and Annex 14 relating to the NTIA criteria on replacing their role with a gov-led or intergov-led solution: update language to reflect agreement from email Action: Brett to send email with details of edits suggested on call Board comment regarding threshold for Board removal in GAC carve-out * Bruce Tonkin: To mitigate the Board's concerns with this new compromise, we suggest that this new lower threshold only applies when BOTH of the following occurs:- The Board decides to accept GAC advice, and hence the GAC cannot participate in a decision to remove the Board over this decisionand - An IRP raised by the community has found that the Board acted inconsistently with its bylaws (which includes the mission). * Brett Schaefer: agree that this would be rare, agree that the IRP makes sense. however, does not agree that this is unusual threshold for community power: other powers are based in 3 SO/ACs thresholds. Current thresholds work. Apologies to Seun for not getting back to him sooner. His line dropped before Thomas could go back to him. 3. Budget Requirements Support for the next phase of the work (beyond Marrakech). Xavier Calvez (ICANN CFO) and Board Finance Committee have requested an assessment of the costs anticipated for three months following Marrakech. The Chairs propose: * Lawyers' drafting of WS1 requirements * Possible F2F before ICANN56 Feedback: * Kavouss supports Chairs' proposal for continued ICANN support. * Sebastien suggests a 2-day F2F as part of ICANN56 (one for WS1 and one for WS2). * Greg agrees with continued outside counsel support for the work * Alan: we need to estimate a reasonable budget and stick to it. 4. AOB Need redline of Bruce's proposed change (aiming for circulation today) Need tracking of changes made to draft so that there are no surprises.
