And mine is coming as advertized.

Even if Sadowsky calls it cynical, I don't want to be accused of intelligence again but I will read the 300 pages at least once.

Dear Hilary,

I note that my dissenting opinion was sent on 29 November and was not included in the report upon the report’s publication on 1 December.  

Moreover, the report has incorrectly stated that there are no dissenting opinions, however the chairs acknowledged this dissenting opinion during the CCWG meeting on 2 November.  Why did the report knowingly make a false statement about no dissent and why has the dissenting opinion still not been included with the report?  I find the delay in fixing this to be unacceptable.  If ICANN can’t even be trusted to honestly report on the accountability recommendations, we really have our work cut out for us.

Thanks, Thomas.  See below.

Dissenting Opinion of Member Robin Gross (GNSO-NSCG)

The CCWG-Accountability make a number of helpful recommendations to improve organizational accountability at ICANN, however one aspect of the plan is deeply flawed: changing the role of ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) from purely an “advisory” role to a “decision making” role over fundamental matters at ICANN, including its governance.  Consequently the proposal marginalizes the role of Supporting Organizations (SO’s) compared to today’s ICANN governance structure.  The degree of governmental empowerment over ICANN resulting from the proposal’s community mechanism is dangerous to the success of the proposal’s political acceptance as well as to its ultimate impact on a free and open Internet.

The creation of a community mechanism to hold ICANN accountable on key issues made a critical error by departing from the existing power balance between SO’s and AC’s as determined by relative board appointments.  Instead, the proposed community mechanism elevates the AC’s relative to the SO’s compared with today’s balance on ICANN's board of directors, which does not currently provide a decision making role to GAC, and which retains the primacy of the Supporting Organizations on key decisions, particularly those within the SO’s mandate.   The devaluing of the Supporting Organizations in ICANN’s key decisions was a common theme in both previous public comment periods, however the recommendations not only failed to address this widespread concern, but went even further in devaluing SO’s in the community mechanism in the 3rd report.  The community mechanism failed to take into account the appropriate roles and responsibilities of the various SO’s and AC’s, and the dangers inherent in changing those roles with a “one size fits all” approach to critical decision making.  

Additionally, I object to the proposed departure from ICANN’s typical 30-day public comment period on the 3rd report for CCWG-Accountability.  The 3rd report’s public comment only allows for 9 days of public comment after the language translations are scheduled to be published, which is far too short of a public comment period for a report of this significance and with so many important changes since previous drafts.

Dear Robin,
as discussed during the last CCWG call, minority statements will be included in the report as appendices if and when they are received.

Best,

Dear Co-Chairs,

I have still not received a response to this request.  What is the process for submitting minority statements?  Please advise.

Thanks,
Robin

Thanks, but the report still incorrectly states that there are no minority opinions.  Why hasn’t the NCSG dissenting opinion been posted or acknowledged in the report?  Please fix this incorrect information and omission of a dissenting opinion from the report’s publication.
