[CCWG-ACCT] Recommendation 8 - Reconsideration - 1st reading conclusions

Sent on behalf of CoChairs 1. The following concerns will be addressed in implementation: ¥ Concerns raised during comment: i. There is a recommendation that this tool should not be regarded in isolation but rather as one among other mechanisms. ii. • Concern was raised that the ombudsman is not sufficiently equipped and knowledgeable to do substantive evaluation. It is also suggested that an independent party, such as the Ombudsman, provide an initial assessment to the Board as to the merit of any and all Reconsideration Requests. iii. • There is a call for Reconsideration Requests to be transparent and fully communicated to all ICANN stakeholders. Second reading is planned for Thursday, 28 January. Best regards Mathieu, Thomas, León
