Update on pending requests - <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=52896826> https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=52896826 Legal Counsel identified IRP drafting and the memo on transparency (inspection rights) as the two outstanding requests. The memo on transparency (inspection rights) is missing from the wiki. ACTION ITEM: Lawyers to find the relevant email exchange. Legal Counsel observed that the wiki list does not comply with recollection from lawyers on certain items. ACTION ITEM: Staff to cross-check list. 2. IRP drafting Lawyers will have a draft ready in two weeks. On call #71, the CCWG-ACCT will discuss composition of the group. Legal counsel will produce detailed drafts and suggests that core language be included in Bylaws and details in a policy document. Legal Counsel indicated that there are some places in the proposal where there are ambiguities in terms of process ( e.g. Annex 7: can action and inaction of PTI be subject to IRP? What is standard of review etc.). Legal Counsel will need further guidance on these questions. The CCWG-ACCT Co-Chairs clarified that this will be the role of the implementation group. Lawyers will make assumptions in the draft. The CCWG-ACCT will be asked to advise on whether right or wrong. Legal Counsel will work with implementation team on this. 3. AoC reviews incorporation update Comments from Adler were not sent and will be provided next week. Legal Counsel comments that the language being a moving target prior to posting of the third draft, the paper could benefit from an additional review. ð What we agreed on the call December 4 is an update to the work delivered on November 25, to reflect language in the Third Proposal regarding the proposed Bylaws provisions, since the version marked up by Jones Day and which was previously reviewed was based on the proposed Bylaws provisions as presented in the Second Proposal.

ACTION ITEM: Legal counsel to update AOC Bylaws text. ACTION ITEM: Certification to be added to the wiki list. 4. Rest of Bylaw drafting Bylaws need to be approved by Board in April. Legal Counsel would welcome clear constructions. It was agreed that for efficiency purpose, Legal Counsel will begin drafting in January when the Final Report is issued.

Legal Counsel requested that the CCWG-ACCT identify whether there are group of recommendations that can be slotted for efficiency of reviews. ACTION ITEM: Co-chairs will propose subgroups of recommendations to be worked on and reviewed in WPs jointly, in order to streamline the process. 5.
