As such, the community, including all SOs and ACs, are encouraged to provide any substantial comments they may have on the recommendations in the individual reports during the public consultations on these individual reports. The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 would like to take this occasion to remind the community that these recommendations will affect all parts of the ICANN community directly and as such the community is strongly encouraged to take the time to consider these and comment during the public comment period. It is also important to note that although all comments are considered equally that it is just as important for the community to show support for those recommendations they agree with. The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs Thomas Rickert, Jordan Carter and Tijani Ben Jemaa
