Dear all, 

As discussed on the CCWG-Accountability call yesterday, we have put together a proposed timeline outlining the phases of our work to finalize the WS1 Report. We plan to share this timeline more broadly with the Chartering Organizations, the CWG-Stewardship, and the ICG, so that these groups can plan their approval schedules as well. 

Please note that the three last dates are in square brackets since they have yet to be confirmed by the dependent parties. We discussed these dates during a Transition Program Facilitation meeting yesterday (the recording is available here), but we wanted to differentiate them from the dates for which we, in the CCWG-Accountability, have direct control over. We will also offer the Board an opportunity to submit a statement confirming that gaps have been addressed, since this may be useful to the Chartering Organizations as they consider the final report. 

• 10 Feb — Complete editing of major sections (staff, leadership, legal counsel)
• 11 Feb — Finalize text, cross check and assemble draft package (staff)
• 12 Feb — Draft completed, final package review and ready for CCWG Leadership Team review. Staff will send the package to CCWG Leadership Team and CCWG Legal Counsel by 2200 UTC. 
• 15 Feb — Incorporate edits from CCWG Leadership Team and Legal (staff)
• 16 Feb —  Staff will send draft package to CCWG for 48 hr review
• 17 Feb --- Minority Statements due so they can be incorporated into report. If the Board wishes to submit a statement or comment confirming that gaps have been addressed, then this would be the due date for that statement. 
• 18 Feb --- v4 draft finalized and sent to Chartering Organizations (this will include publication on the ICANN website and associated communications)
• [25 Feb --- CWG-Stewardship sign-off letter delivered to Chartering Organizations]
• [8 Mar --- Sign-off by Chartering Organizations at ICANN55 in Marrakech]
• [10 Mar --- Hand over from ICANN Board to NTIA]

Please send through any comments on the proposed timeline, and let us know should you have any suggestions or additions. 

Best,  

Thomas, Mathieu, Leon
