[CCWG-ACCT] CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Answer on ombuds

​Form Samantha Eisner: The answer to the question of: "The ultimate responsibility for the Ombuds office must remain with the Board »² is yes. There has to be a line of accountability from the Ombuds to the Board. This is particularly important as it is the Board¹s obligation to make sure that the Bylaws requirements are met appropriately, and also consdiering the internal access that the Ombuds is granted and the focus of ³internal² evaluation. This does not mean that that others cannot give inputs to the Board on that relationship with the Ombudsman. ‹ Samantha Eisner Deputy General Counsel, ICANN 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, California 90094 USA Direct Dial: +1 310 578 8631
