Hi all, A comment or two re Paul's note below; On Friday, 9 October 2015, Paul Szyndler <paul.szyndler@auda.org.au> wrote:
Eberhard,
I have long appreciated your vehement and unflinching commitment to the independence and autonomy of ccTLDs. However, as cc managers, we constantly face the challenge of balancing this independence against the need for engagement with the broader stakeholder community.
I believe that the CCWG is one process we need to engage in. As cc managers, are we happy for "the rest" of the community to arrive at a solution for the future stewardship of ICANN (which includes a place for the ccNSO) without contributing to that process?
In whatever membership model the community may arrive at, we ultimately get down to the unsavoury detail of votes and voting mechanisms. Are you happy with a 5 of 29 voting structure?
Other models under discussion would see a consensus model rather than votes. Are you supportive of a model that has the potential to "veto" a ccPDP? This one is mystifying, since nobody has at any point suggested any possibility of this. What is your novel interpretation of the ccwg's proposal that leads you to this curious conclusion? If you are going to assert the conclusion, I think it would be helpful to share the basis for it - mainly so that we can fix it so such a problem does not occur.
Irrespective of whether you answer "yes", "no" or "I don’t care", I believe that these issues are of sufficient significance to warrant our collective attention.
At no point have I seen anything in the Stewardship or Accountability processes that threatens the existing internal roles or responsibilities of ccTLD managers. However, I believe we need to be engaged in the broader ecosystem because these potential changes will have an effect on how each of us can influence our environment in the future.
Agree. Jordan
Perhaps I could turn your question back to you. I note that you have devoted considerable time, effort and intellectual capacity to the CCWG. Assuming that the CCWG report doesn’t affect ccTLDs directly, what is it about this process that has warranted your dedicated engagement?
Regards,
Paul

Thank you for this Mathieu,
Although this is an appropriately short and high-level document, it still conveys a very strong message. Not only is the work of the CWG and CCWG supported, but the process that was undertaken is justified and endorsed at some length.
It is interesting that this consensus has been reached as, in my observation, few ccTLD colleagues (with notable exceptions including yourself, Roelof, Jordan etc) have been very actively involved in the ongoing work. I can only imagine that the views of many Governments are also only in their nascent stage. This is certainly the case with mine.
So it is important that we fully understand the CENTR / HLIG position because it will carry considerable weight in the cc and GAC communities, where many may not have followed the work closely nor taken a definitive position. Is this core group of European stakeholders unconditionally endorsing the CWG, CCWG and their expected outputs? Or rather, is the position an endorsement of what has been done so far (and how it has been done), with a more open-ended position on what may happen over the coming months?
Regards,
Paul

Dear colleagues,
Along with some European members and participants of our group, I am attending the CENTR meeting in Brussels. This morning was a joint session with the European High Level Internet Governance group (made of european GAC representives), and it discussed the IANA Stewardship transition.
The outcome of this meeting is summarized in the statement that is now online : https://t.co/EuolALNkgV
You can also find my update regarding our work on our wiki (feel free to re-use) : https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/CENTR+Accountability +Upd ate
As part of the discussion, I have noted a suggestion by Roelof that we prepare a short, understandable paper to summarize the state of play, and what remains to be done.
Best,
