Thanks Hillary for this. All, in prep for our call on the 23rd, I thought I'd extract and post the exact wording from Annex 2 about the carve out thresholds that seems to be at the centre of the discussion. Here they are: Quote from Annex 2 - para 72 and bullet: - - - The CCWG-Accountability also recommends that in a situation where the GAC may not participate as a Decisional Participant because the Community Power is proposed to be used to challenge the Board’s implementation of GAC consensus advice and the threshold is set at four in support, the power will still be validly exercised if three are in support and no more than one objects,with the following exception: Where the power to be exercised is recalling the entire Board for implementing GAC advice, the reduced threshold would apply only either (1) after an IRP has found that, in implementing GAC advice, the Board acted inconsistently with the ICANN Bylaws, or (2) if the IRP is not available to challenge the Board action in question. If the Empowered Community has brought such an IRP and does not prevail, the Empowered Community may not exercise its power to recall the entire the Board solely on the basis of the matter decided by the IRP. It may, however, exercise that power based on other grounds. - - - I read this as establishing a threshold of three SOs/ACs in support to use the Board recall power in only two situations: 1) if IRP held that Board acted inconsistent with bylaws 2) if IRP is not available Otherwise the threshold would remain at four SOs/ACs in support. I cannot think of many circumstances where the IRP is not available, since almost any action of the Board could be tested against the bylaws through an IRP. If an IRP finds in favour of the Board, the threshold would remain at four SOs/ACs in support. Yes, it breaches the principle of unanimity being never required, but it does so after a thorough investigation by an IRP process. (If there is no such investigation, i.e. no IRP available, then the lower threshold applies.) Seems fine to me. Speak with you all in ~18hours...

Dear Jordan Re your last message relating to the removal if the Board in case of no IRP, i am not still convinced by yr argument . Why not ,exceptionally require 4SO/AC for that case.

Dear Kavouss, I've said a number of times I don't mind the outcome either way. Because of that I don't hear, or make, strong arguments in favour or against any option. Because of that, I tend to favour not changing the report if we don't have to. I honestly believe that the circumstances in which this power would be used and this lower threshold available are so unlikely, that it would only ever happen in a state of shocking conflict. And since board members are usually quite rational, I also believe that if the Board allowed things to get that bad, they would probably be thinking of resigning anyway. Or to put it another way - I don't think we have a problem here that needs fixing by changing the report. Jordan On Monday, 22 February 2016, Kavouss Arasteh <kavouss.arasteh@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear Jordan I agree: we may well be dedicating a lot of crucial time at the risk of over-engineering things here. I've said at various times in the CCWG process that it is important to recognise what community empowerment means in terms of *facilitating the resolution* of problems and disputes at the earliest possible stage - rather than emphasising the need to anticipate *confrontation *that requires decisional votes. This is one of the reasons why I also emphasise how a formal advisory role for governments throughout the escalation process can actively contribute to the community's resolution of such problems. We should also not forget that the GAC and the GNSO are transitioning to a closer working relationship which also serves to obviate the risk of fundamental disputes revolving around GAC advice to the Board being escalated to "spill level" (I am referring to the current work of the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group chaired by Jonathan Robinson and Manal Ismail) changes contribute to realising the vision of enhanced, consensus-based ICANN multi-stakeholder processes that both ATRT reviews helped to set out.

Dear Mark and Jordan If you would have asked me 72 hours ago I would have said that this was a discussion about a rare edge case. Two things make me think otherwise now First, is the fact that the Board has seen fit to make this a disruptive issue in the midst of what (as Ed Morris says) was intended as a 48 hour review period for typos and the like. If the Board thinks it is important enough to address substantively then perhaps it is – though I still don’t see why. Second, and more importantly, this is really a procedural test of the community. If it cannot take, defend, and enforce a decision (whether an edge case or more significant) against the Board’s abuse of the process then it leaves me with little confidence that =any = of the accountability measures we have identified are going to be effective. It takes fortitude to call a hierarchy to account. If we don’t have it now, we are unlikely ever to have it.

Because of that I don't hear, or make, strong arguments in favour or against any option. Because of that, I tend to favour not changing the report if we don't have to. I honestly believe that the circumstances in which this power would be used and this lower threshold available are so unlikely, that it would only ever happen in a state of shocking conflict. And since board members are usually quite rational, I also believe that if the Board allowed things to get that bad, they would probably be thinking of resigning anyway. Or to put it another way - I don't think we have a problem here that needs fixing by changing the report.

I cannot think of many circumstances where the IRP is not available, since almost any action of the Board could be tested against the bylaws through an IRP.

Yes, Paul This is the most disturbing thing about the latest board intervention. Clearly, the board is still laboring under the mentality of the pre-reform ICANN, in which the board had completely unchecked power (other than by the NTIA exercising a nuclear option) to dictate outcomes regardless of the bottom up process. The board apparently has learned nothing about why these accountability reforms were necessary and has not internalized the attitudinal changes required to insstitutionalize a more accountable and balanced environment. If the board’s attitude about this has not changed, and they are still assuming that _in this process_ they can unilaterally dictate change, then it is not clear whether the reforms will work. It looks like the board forces us to constantly battle them in a highly conflict-prone process – and then wonders why people don’t trust them. Second, and more importantly, this is really a procedural test of the community. If it cannot take, defend, and enforce a decision (whether an edge case or more significant) against the Board’s abuse of the process then it leaves me with little confidence that =any = of the accountability measures we have identified are going to be effective. It takes fortitude to call a hierarchy to account. If we don’t have it now, we are unlikely ever to have it.

This reminds me. In Buenos Aries, Larry Strickling observed, “As I listen to the discussions of membership models, separability, budget reviews and the like, I am struck by the fact that this community goes through cycle after cycle of putting its own people on the board and then stops trusting them to act in the interest of the multistakeholder model. I am puzzled by the fact that the discussion to date has not asked why it is that community leaders go from prophet to pariah simply by joining the ICANN board. And I am worried that until the community solves this issue, all the other accountability tools will fall short of delivering the outcomes the community wants.” As I remember, this aside got a lot of applause from the Board. Unfortunately, the actions of the Board over the past week provide a strong illustration as to why this distrust exists and perseveres. We may not be able resolve the trust issue as Larry recommended we do, but we can make sure that the Board is accountable. We should not take steps to weaken the checks on the Board in the current proposal. ________________________________ Brett Schaefer Jay Kingham Senior Research Fellow in International Regulatory Affairs Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy The Heritage Foundation 214 Massachusetts Avenue, NE Washington, DC 20002 202-608-6097 heritage.org<http://heritage.org/> From: accountability-cross-community-bounces@icann.org [mailto:accountability-cross-community-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Mueller, Milton L Sent: Monday, February 22, 2016 3:48 PM To: Paul Rosenzweig Cc: 'CCWG-Accountability' Subject: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] Updated Proposal Documents Available for Review Yes, Paul This is the most disturbing thing about the latest board intervention.

Thank you Milton/ Four, five, three...details. Whether this community and this organisation has reached the maturity to be granted independence....that's now the issue. With seven hours thirty one minutes left in the 48 hour CCWG review of its final proposal, the day before we were going to publish our report, a dictate was issued from on high by Dr. Crocker. It was immediately praised by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who had been arguing for the dictate's positions incessantly in the days prior to Dr. Crocker's intervention. The ICANN Board agreed with Iran and a small minority of vocal governments (initially 7.3% of the GAC) most of which, unlike Iran, had argued their position in and supported the appropriate high quality Minority Statement that had been submitted to the CCWG two days earlier by Argentina. It was a fine statement Olga. Read in tandem with Robin's equally fine Minority Statement, it provided the context of both positions in our rather heated conversation. Thank you both very much for your exceptional work. Note the words: Minority Statement. It pretty much says it all. In the GNSO we have been working hard to ensure we had the opportunity to fully consider the Supplemental Report despite the short deadline. We've been scheduling special calls, repositioning Marrakech meeting slots, doing things most groups have been doing. It's hard. Unlike the Board, as an NCSG member of the GNSO Council I have over 500 members in over 100 countries to inform and consult before I can cast my vote. I was planning on doing a first for the NCSG: A Periscope Q and A. I was going to schedule it for today. Until, that is, we heard from the man at the top of the proverbial mountain. The Board seemed to like the Minority Statement and wanted to make it the Majority Statement. So sayeth the powers that be. Damn the bottom up multi-staskeholder model, we are the Board and we have no respect for your procedures, timelines or charter. We do what we want, when we want. You adapt to us. So much for my Periscope. The sage words of Springsteen provide the reasoning: "Poor man wanna be rich, Rich man wanna be king. And a king ain't satisfied, 'til he rules everything". You see, folks, we're the group responsible for crafting rules to prevent the Board or anyone else from "ruling everything" in the DNS. Accountability. The first step in designing an accountable governance model is engineering rules that have the respect and willing adherence of all involved. You respect each other, but you respect the rules and regulations that bind you together even more. It may be expedient to break the rules, it may even be more efficient to do so, but you don't because in the long haul adherence to rules and structure create predictability and stability in governance. For a group trying to ensure the security and stability of the DNS I'd say that's pretty important. I'm still in a bit of shock that the Board would try something this disruptive at this time and that parts of this community would seemingly welcome the disruption. Perhaps it's because the Board supported your position. Be warned, my friends: next time the Board could be seeking to overturn a compromise you worked hard to craft. This is not about the position or any substantive argument involved. It is about respect, respect for the process, and respect for agreed rules of this community and this working group. No changes should be made to the document that was being readied to ship to the supporting organisations. None. It's about respect for process, our own. This group has a decision to make: will this group on Accountability follow its own published timeline. its own published processes, the intent of its own Charter or will it opt for expediency and convenience and allow the Board to dictate to it rather than follow the approved processes for input and debate? It's that simple. If we allow the Board to change our approach, to force substantive changes to our document, in a way that would be allowed for no other group...can the world trust us to hold future Board's accountable to follow the detailed accountability plans we have developed? Can the world trust us to be good stewards of the commons that is the DNS? If we don't follow the rules that we have established for the accountability working group, how can the world be assured that we will follow the rules for accountability we are establishing for the Board? I hope folks do the right thing tomorrow. In terms of substance, the Board will still have an opportunity to object to portions of the report they don't like, as will the chartering organisations. It's not about that. It's about whether this community can be trusted to ensure that future Board's follow established rules, norms and procedures. It's a test for the community and the world (including at least two Democratic Congressional staffers I've alerted) will be watching, or at least listening for our verdict.

The relevant language in the draft of the 19th seems awkward at best. It may also be useful to have a table of simple sentences something like below, to clearly capture what people are in support of (or not). A. The GAC MAY NOT participate as a decision-maker in community deliberations involving a challenge to the Board’s implementation of GAC consensus advice. B. If an IRP has found that in implementing GAC advice the Board acted inconsistently with the ICANN Bylaws the threshold is set at THREE in support and no more than one objects to recall the entire the Board. C. If an IRP is not available to challenge the Board action in question the threshold is set at THREE in support and no more than one objects to recall the entire the Board. D. If an IRP has found that in implementing GAC advice the Board HAS NOT acted inconsistently with the ICANN Bylaws, the Empowered Community may NOT exercise its power to recall the entire the Board solely on the basis of the matter decided by the IRP. E. If an IRP has found that in implementing GAC advice the Board HAS NOT acted inconsistently with the ICANN Bylaws, the Empowered Community MAY exercise its power to recall the entire the Board based on other grounds and the threshold is set at FOUR in support and no more than one objects.

Thanks Hillary for this.
All, in prep for our call on the 23rd, I thought I'd extract and post the exact wording from Annex 2 about the carve out thresholds that seems to be at the centre of the discussion. Here they are:
Quote from Annex 2 - para 72 and bullet:
- - - The CCWG-Accountability also recommends that in a situation where the GAC may not participate as a Decisional Participant because the Community Power is proposed to be used to challenge the Board’s implementation of GAC consensus advice and the threshold is set at four in support, the power will still be validly exercised if three are in support and no more than one objects,with the following exception:
Where the power to be exercised is recalling the entire Board for implementing GAC advice, the reduced threshold would apply only either (1) after an IRP has found that, in implementing GAC advice, the Board acted inconsistently with the ICANN Bylaws, or (2) if the IRP is not available to challenge the Board action in question. If the Empowered Community has brought such an IRP and does not prevail, the Empowered Community may not exercise its power to recall the entire the Board solely on the basis of the matter decided by the IRP. It may, however, exercise that power based on other grounds. - - -
I read this as establishing a threshold of three SOs/ACs in support to use the Board recall power in only two situations:
1) if IRP held that Board acted inconsistent with bylaws 2) if IRP is not available
Otherwise the threshold would remain at four SOs/ACs in support.
I cannot think of many circumstances where the IRP is not available, since almost any action of the Board could be tested against the bylaws through an IRP.

Yes, it breaches the principle of unanimity being never required, but it does so after a thorough investigation by an IRP process.

Brett, we will have the text available and let me also remind you of my response to Larry.
I said you do not have to join the Board to not be trusted. Becoming a CCWG co-chair is sufficient for that.
Thought I should share this with you. Let's all try to keep smiling in these challenging days.

Thanks Hillary for this.
All, in prep for our call on the 23rd, I thought I'd extract and post the exact wording from Annex 2 about the carve out thresholds that seems to be at the centre of the discussion. Here they are:
Quote from Annex 2 - para 72 and bullet:
- - - The CCWG-Accountability also recommends that in a situation where the GAC may not participate as a Decisional Participant because the Community Power is proposed to be used to challenge the Board’s implementation of GAC consensus advice and the threshold is set at four in support, the power will still be validly exercised if three are in support and no more than one objects,with the following exception:
Where the power to be exercised is recalling the entire Board for implementing GAC advice, the reduced threshold would apply only either (1) after an IRP has found that, in implementing GAC advice, the Board acted inconsistently with the ICANN Bylaws, or (2) if the IRP is not available to challenge the Board action in question. If the Empowered Community has brought such an IRP and does not prevail, the Empowered Community may not exercise its power to recall the entire the Board solely on the basis of the matter decided by the IRP. It may, however, exercise that power based on other grounds. - - -
I read this as establishing a threshold of three SOs/ACs in support to use the Board recall power in only two situations:
1) if IRP held that Board acted inconsistent with bylaws 2) if IRP is not available
Otherwise the threshold would remain at four SOs/ACs in support.
I cannot think of many circumstances where the IRP is not available, since almost any action of the Board could be tested against the bylaws through an IRP.
If an IRP finds in favour of the Board, the threshold would remain at four SOs/ACs in support. Yes, it breaches the principle of unanimity being never required, but it does so after a thorough investigation by an IRP process. (If there is no such investigation, i.e. no IRP available, then the lower threshold applies.)
Seems fine to me.
Speak with you all in ~18hours...

Dear Jordan, Like you I also wish to receive more consensus building messages. If it is so unlikely , why not accepting 4 SO/AC for Board Removal in case an IRP is not available. Once again this would considerably calm down the situation. What is the real problem if we make such exception in case of Carve-Out. Like you I want to finalize the Report. Do you as the chairman of WP1 and Beckie as the chairman of WP2 have really a problem to do so. It will considerably facilitate the discussions tomorrow . Pls reflect on that and positively respond.

What is the real problem if we make such exception in case of Carve-Out.
The real problem is that it means there's no carve out at all. There are three possible cases when the Board is implementing official GAC consensus advice and people want to object: 1.a. There is an IRP, and the IRP declares that the Board is outside the mission. 1.b. There is an IRP, and the IRP declares that the Board is _not_ outside the mission. 2. There is no IRP (it's not available, or people frame the complaint in such a way that its not available). In case 1.a, the IRP is supposed to be binding; so the Board shouldn't be able to act anyway. Everyone seems ok with the lower threshold here, as well they shoud be, since if the Board decided to proceed in the face of a binding decision against them then the Board is _ex hypothesi_ violating a fundamental bylaw (about IRP); so the carve-out isn't really necessary. In the case of 1.b, the Board has proposed that the GAC's ability to participate in the Emoowered Community be accepted. I can't tell whether that's acceptable to people, though late last week I thought people were going to be ok with it. (For whatever it's worth, I think this is a wart, in keeping with Steve Crocker's observation about exceptions and complicated procedures and so on. But I could live with it and anyway I'm not a voting member of the CCWG.) So, the dispute is really about case 2. The Board's proposal is that the GAC be an eligible member of the Empowered Community in this case too. Many people seem to be objecting to that. This is without doubt the "two bites at the apple" case, because it is a case where the GAC has decided that it wants special rules for the Board in handling the GAC advice. If the rest of the community disagrees with the advice, then there is a tussle. It is at the very least a little strange to allow one group (in this case the GAC) a voice on both sides of the tussle. (Again, for whatever it's worth, I could live with either outcome and I'm not a voting member of the CCWG. In my view, however, the arguments for those opposed to the Board's recommendation are a lot stronger. The arguments for the Board's view boil down to three: 3 SOs and ACs is too low, a smallish number of governments are objecting, and we're running out of time so let's just accept this. But the first seems to me to be an arithmetic consequence, the second places outsize weight on a single minority opinion, and the third is just as well an argument against the change.)
