Thank you. Kind regards, Brenda Action Items * ACTION ITEM: Staff to send a reminder to Kavouss Arasteh that an Expression of Interest is needed. * ACTION ITEM: CoChairs to update draft and send * ACTION ITEM: Becky to provide rationale Notes These high-level notes are designed to help you navigate through content of the call and do not substitute in any way the transcript. Webinars and Board call debrief All Chartering Organizations are encouraged to hold calls. We are also encouraging you all to conduct outreach A document that concentrates all Q&As will be published later today. Co-Chairs held a call with Board for informational discussion. Transcript will be published. Board gave overview of comments submitted. Agreement that Board would go deeper into detail. We were invited to hold another call that might take place next Sunday with objective of having Q&A to guide Board on comments. This call is not a negotiation. Board input will be treated at same level as community input. Refer to Bruce Tonkin's email for topics on which clarification needed: Human Rights, inspection rights, Board consideration of GAC advice. IRP Subgroup Responsible for substantive process design. Becky will lead. Review of EOIs received. We had determined that if too big of a group, we would define selection criteria. The proposed group is of a manageable size. In addition to size, diversity is important. Suggesting to keep numbers of individuals as is. We will keep group opened for any additional contributors that would allow for better geographic representation. If a policy that deployed independent review council, the policy would need to specify manner in which IRP would resolve any inconsistencies. Lawyers will draft paperwork and implementation oversight team will review. There is no requirement to be lawyer or prior experience but it is important to have key contributions. Kavouss Arasteh has volunteered. ACTION ITEM: Staff to send a reminder to Kavouss Arasteh that an Expression of Interest is needed. Timeline There is room for publishing a supplemental report if need be. Co-Chairs have prepared an email hat could be sent to Chartering Organizations. Review of proposed letter. Provisions for formal resolutions need to be consistent with timeline. There is precedent for CWG where one of the COs issued a non-objection statement. Charter is not fully explicit on this Formal approval is better than anything else. It would be inappropriate to take absence of answer as support or objection. We will need to assess level of support. We need to be aware that we are asking to endorse recommendations which may leave implementation details open for dialogue (handled during implementation phase). It is important to communicate it to Chartering Organizations. We will need to assess consensus for clarity. Recommendations are based on public consultations. CCWG-ACCT also charged with looking at overall comments. Consensus will need to be revised if major concerns. Chartering organizations need to define process in own timeline. ACTION ITEM: CoChairs to update draft and send AOB ALAC made comments on Mission Statement on Second Proposal. We need to understand rationale why not included. ACTION ITEM: Becky to provide rationale Marrakech: Since there is no confirmed plan for CCWG-ACCT to have a meeting adjacent to Marrakech, there will be no travel funding for the CCWG members to attend ICANN55. In the past, CCWG members have received funding for ICANN meetings as an exception to attend meetings outside of the ICANN program and extend stay for program. The CCWG will have working sessions on the ICANN meeting schedule, for which there will be remote participation available. Any funding for CCWG members who wish to attend Marrakesh should be discussed with the appointing SO/AC since SO/ACs receive travel funding for ICANN meetings per the ICANN travel policy Documents * PDF: <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/56148225/IRP%20Implementati... df?version=1&modificationDate=1449604037100&api=v2> IRP Implementation Oversight Team.pdf * PDF: <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/56148225/CCWG%20Timeline.pd... nDate=1449604147070&api=v2> CCWG Timeline.pdf * DOC: <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/56148225/Proposed%20note.do... onDate=1449604001138&api=v2> Proposed note.docx | PDF: <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/56148225/Proposed%20note.pd... nDate=1449603853946&api=v2> Proposed note.pdf
