Accountability of SO/ACs is considered critical given the powers and roles of an Empowered Community that the transition would provide them with. ii.Accountability to the global community is also deemed important in this context. Three levels of accountability are suggested: 1) Accountability of SO/AC to whole community; 2) Accountability of SO/AC representatives to communities when acting as Designator; 3) Future structure of ICANN resulting from transition including accountability aspects and related checks and balances. • Some contributors believe that SO/AC Accountability improvements need to be given immediate attention. Creating a “Mutual Accountability Roundtable” involving representatives of the ICANN Board, Community and Staff, developing a detailed plan on enhancing SO and AC accountability and applying the Independent Review process to SO and AC activities are considered crucial to Work Stream 2.” Second reading is planned for Thursday, 28 January.
