The CWG-Stewardship chairs reviewed the requirements, as did our independent legal counsel, and both confirmed that the CCWG-Accountability had met their requirements. My understanding is that this is reflected in the “Fulfillment of Requirements” section, and reflected in the draft through the IRP and Community Mechanism. The text from the "Fulfillment of Requirements” section is as follows:

As requested by the CWG-Stewardship, the community can use the Independent Review process (see Section 4) to challenge a decision by the Board not to implement a recommendation coming out of an IANA Function Review.

Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] are we covered on oversight on board decisions wrt IFR recommendations

It has been suggested that our proposal is missing an important element (see below):

But what is missing from the CCWG draft (and specifically the community powers section) is the empowerment of the community to exercise oversight of ICANN board decisions with respect to recommendations resulting from an IFR, as identified below.

From the transition proposal (pg 40), released by the ICG today [1]:

2. Community Empowerment Mechanisms. The empowerment of the multistakeholder community to have the following rights with respect to the ICANN Board, the exercise of which should be ensured by the related creation of a stakeholder community / member group:

(a) The ability to appoint and remove members of the ICANN Board and to recall the entire ICANN Board;

(b) The ability to exercise oversight with respect to key ICANN Board decisions (including with respect to the ICANN Board’s oversight of the IANA functions) by reviewing and approving (i) ICANN Board decisions with respect to recommendations resulting from an IFR or Special IFR and (ii) the ICANN budget; and
(c) The ability to approve amendments to ICANN’s “fundamental bylaws,” as described below.

Is this right? Is this covered in our report? I don't see it, but in the flurry of documents may not be looking at the right ones.

Thanks,

Robin
