Two blogs about ICANN54
Dear all, In an effort to reduce the number of emails in your inbox, I¹m providing a 2-in-1 email update for you. There are two blogs related to accountability that have been posted to the ICANN website in the past 48h. I¹ve copied them below for your convenience. 1. Steve Crocker, Dublin and Transition (https://www.icann.org/news/blog/dublin-and-transition) 2. Nick Tomasso, Increasing Community Discussions on Enhancing ICANN Accountability at ICANN54 (https://www.icann.org/news/blog/increasing-community-discussions-on-enhanci ng-icann-accountability-at-icann54) 1. Dublin and Transition (Steve Crocker) Original Link: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/dublin-and-transition I look forward to seeing many of you on the Emerald Isle at ICANN54. I personally have been reinvigorated witnessing the commitment of the community, the CCWG-Accountability in particular, as we work towards completing the last piece of a proposal that will move ICANN to an independent, improved and even more accountable organization. We all know the reality of the situation we're facing today, not just the timelines but also the need to come together on this last piece of the puzzle. It's not about the Board, nor about any other single stakeholder it's about the whole community coming together. As I've said before, though I and the other Board members are on the Board now, we are only here for a while, and then we will leave. In two years one of you will take over my seat and I will return to my former role in the wider community. We're all stakeholders that's the beauty of the ICANN multistakeholder model. Everyone has a voice and as soon as anyone says differently or tries to exclude people, well, that's not the Internet community I've participated in and watched evolve over the last 30 plus years, and that's not what ICANN is about. It's about wading through a noisy, and at times robust, but good faith discussion to come together and agree upon a final, balanced approach. Right now, it happens to be about the CCWG-Accountability analyzing and addressing the 93 comments from the last round of public comment, listening to all possible views and opinions from across the community including those that come forward in Dublinand developing a final consensus proposal. We are in the final stretch of this and it's time for everyone, however involved you've been, to help work towards a consensus. Dublin will be key as we show the world what our multistakeholder model can accomplish. I know many on the Board are deeply engaged alongside many of you in the working parties and will continue participating in community discussion throughout this process. The CCWG and the broader community both have a lot of discussions ahead. The Board looks forward to participating as one stakeholder of many, and I thank you all for your energy and commitment to this effort. It really is a wonder to behold. For those of you following the IANA Stewardship Transition and Enhancing ICANN Accountability processes in Dublin or from your computer at home, below is a quick reference guide to the latest transition-related meetings. At the community's request, the ICANN staff identified additional times forICANN Accountability discussions <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/increasing-community-discussions-on-enhanci ng-icann-accountability-at-icann54> with as little disruption as possible to the current meeting schedule. Please don't hesitate to join in the discussions no matter where you are in the world. We are nearly there. It is a historic moment, and truly a testament to the strength of the multistakeholder model.

Increasing Community Discussions on Enhancing ICANN Accountability at ICANN54 (Nick Tomasso) Original link: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/increasing-community-discussions-on-enhancin g-icann-accountability-at-icann54 As participants from around the world are preparing themselves for ICANN's 54th Public Meeting, theICANN Meetings Team has been hard at work to finalize the meeting schedule. Last week during an SO-AC-SG-C-RALO Leadership Call, ICANN staff was asked to provide options for community consideration to increase time in Dublin for discussions around the Enhancing ICANN Accountability process. Given the important circumstances and timely nature of the request, we identified timeslots for EnhancingICANN Accountability discussions where we could insert new sessions with as little disruption as possible to the current meeting schedule. After a few days of brainstorming, our team was able to provide the community with three options for increasing CCWG-Accountability discussion time in Dublin. These options varied from little change/minimal disruption to significant change/significant disruption to the ICANN54 schedule. After discussions amongst the broader community on these three options, the SO-AC-SG-C-RALO Leadership Team reached consensus this morning on a middle-ground option, which would increase EnhancingICANN Accountability discussions without significant disruption to the current meeting structure. Finalization of agendas and details of these new sessions are forthcoming; the CCWG-Accountability co-Chairs will provide these details tomorrow, Tuesday, 13 October.
Friday, 16 October Removal of the SO-AC-SG-RALO Community Roundtable This will provide SO-AC-SG-RALO Community Leaders the opportunity to join the CCWG-Accountability Working Session from 15:30-18:30. Monday, 19 October Addition of a full-afternoon, community-wide session to discuss Enhancing ICANN Accountability from 14:00-18:30 in the Auditorium. This timeslot will allow for the broadest possible participation pending final agenda from the CCWG-Accountability. Given the Auditorium configuration, the session will include 2-4 standing microphones rather than desk microphones for participants. Tuesday, 20 October Addition of the Joint Meeting of the ICANN Board & SSAC to the end of the day from 18:00-19:00 in the Auditorium. This would be moved from Wednesday to allow more time for an Enhancing ICANN Accountability Session. Additionally, the ICANN Board Cocktail Reception with the GAC will now run from 19:15-20:15. Wednesday, 21 October Addition of a second community-wide discussion on Enhancing ICANN Accountability session from 17:00-20:00 in the Auditorium. This timeslot will allow for the broadest possible participation pending final agenda from the CCWG-Accountability. Given the Auditorium configuration, the session will include 2-4 standing microphones rather than desk microphones for participants. To see the entire ICANN54 meeting schedule please see here <https://meetings.icann.org/en/dublin54/schedule-full> . We look forward to continuing to support the community in any way possible. Please note that with sessions starting in the next few days, any further changes to the schedule, with the exception of session cancellations, will not be feasible. We appreciate the flexibility of those of you who will be affected by these changes. Thank you all and see you in Dublin!
Good luck to our Co-Chairs telling attendees on Monday and Wednesday that the advertised "community-wide discussion" is anything less than a community-wide discussion. Hopefully, this will be described more accurately on the schedule as soon as possible, to make that part of their task slightly easier. That, and the standing microphones instead of desk microphones, will challenge us in moving our work forward. (Hopefully, these can be made into "roving microphones" so we don't have to choose between working and waiting to speak.) Queue management will also be an issue, if we have interventions coming from the mikes with people who are not in Adobe.

I personally have been reinvigorated witnessing the commitment of the community, the CCWG-Accountability in particular, as we work towards completing the last piece of a proposal that will move ICANN to an independent, improved and even more accountable organization.
We all know the reality of the situation we're facing today, not just the timelines but also the need to come together on this last piece of the puzzle. It's not about the Board, nor about any other single stakeholder – it's about the whole community coming together. As I've said before, though I and the other Board members are on the Board now, we are only here for a while, and then we will leave. In two years one of you will take over my seat and I will return to my former role in the wider community. We're all stakeholders – that's the beauty of the ICANN multistakeholder model.

Increasing Community Discussions on Enhancing ICANN Accountability at ICANN54 (Nick Tomasso) Original link: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/increasing-community-discussions-on-enhancin... As participants from around the world are preparing themselves for ICANN's 54th Public Meeting, theICANN Meetings Team has been hard at work to finalize the meeting schedule. Last week during an SO-AC-SG-C-RALO Leadership Call, ICANN staff was asked to provide options for community consideration to increase time in Dublin for discussions around the Enhancing ICANN Accountability process. Given the important circumstances and timely nature of the request, we identified timeslots for EnhancingICANN Accountability discussions where we could insert new sessions with as little disruption as possible to the current meeting schedule. After a few days of brainstorming, our team was able to provide the community with three options for increasing CCWG-Accountability discussion time in Dublin. These options varied from little change/minimal disruption to significant change/significant disruption to the ICANN54 schedule. After discussions amongst the broader community on these three options, the SO-AC-SG-C-RALO Leadership Team reached consensus this morning on a middle-ground option, which would increase EnhancingICANN Accountability discussions without significant disruption to the current meeting structure. Finalization of agendas and details of these new sessions are forthcoming; the CCWG-Accountability co-Chairs will provide these details tomorrow, Tuesday, 13 October. Friday, 16 October Removal of the SO-AC-SG-RALO Community Roundtable This will provide SO-AC-SG-RALO Community Leaders the opportunity to join the CCWG-Accountability Working Session from 15:30-18:30. Monday, 19 October Addition of a full-afternoon, community-wide session to discuss Enhancing ICANN Accountability from 14:00-18:30 in the Auditorium. This timeslot will allow for the broadest possible participation pending final agenda from the CCWG-Accountability. Given the Auditorium configuration, the session will include 2-4 standing microphones rather than desk microphones for participants. Tuesday, 20 October Addition of the Joint Meeting of the ICANN Board & SSAC to the end of the day from 18:00-19:00 in the Auditorium. This would be moved from Wednesday to allow more time for an Enhancing ICANN Accountability Session. Additionally, the ICANN Board Cocktail Reception with the GAC will now run from 19:15-20:15. Wednesday, 21 October Addition of a second community-wide discussion on Enhancing ICANN Accountability session from 17:00-20:00 in the Auditorium. This timeslot will allow for the broadest possible participation pending final agenda from the CCWG-Accountability. Given the Auditorium configuration, the session will include 2-4 standing microphones rather than desk microphones for participants. To see the entire ICANN54 meeting schedule please see here<https://meetings.icann.org/en/dublin54/schedule-full>. We look forward to continuing to support the community in any way possible. Please note that with sessions starting in the next few days, any further changes to the schedule, with the exception of session cancellations, will not be feasible. We appreciate the flexibility of those of you who will be affected by these changes.

Dear all,

I look forward to seeing many of you on the Emerald Isle at ICANN54. I personally have been reinvigorated witnessing the commitment of the community, the CCWG-Accountability in particular, as we work towards completing the last piece of a proposal that will move ICANN to an independent, improved and even more accountable organization.
We all know the reality of the situation we're facing today, not just the timelines but also the need to come together on this last piece of the puzzle. It's not about the Board, nor about any other single stakeholder – it's about the whole community coming together. As I've said before, though I and the other Board members are on the Board now, we are only here for a while, and then we will leave. In two years one of you will take over my seat and I will return to my former role in the wider community. We're all stakeholders – that's the beauty of the ICANN multistakeholder model. Everyone has a voice – and as soon as anyone says differently or tries to exclude people, well, that's not the Internet community I've participated in and watched evolve over the last 30 plus years, and that's not what ICANN is about.
It's about wading through a noisy, and at times robust, but good faith discussion to come together and agree upon a final, balanced approach. Right now, it happens to be about the CCWG-Accountability analyzing and addressing the 93 comments from the last round of public comment, listening to all possible views and opinions from across the community– including those that come forward in Dublin—and developing a final consensus proposal.
We are in the final stretch of this and it's time for everyone, however involved you've been, to help work towards a consensus.
Dublin will be key as we show the world what our multistakeholder model can accomplish. I know many on the Board are deeply engaged alongside many of you in the working parties and will continue participating in community discussion throughout this process. The CCWG and the broader community both have a lot of discussions ahead. The Board looks forward to participating as one stakeholder of many, and I thank you all for your energy and commitment to this effort. It really is a wonder to behold.
For those of you following the IANA Stewardship Transition and Enhancing ICANN Accountability processes in Dublin or from your computer at home, below is a quick reference guide to the latest transition-related meetings. At the community's request, the ICANN staff identified additional times forICANN Accountability discussions <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/increasing-community-discussions-on-enhancin...> with as little disruption as possible to the current meeting schedule.
Please don't hesitate to join in the discussions no matter where you are in the world. We are nearly there. It is a historic moment, and truly a testament to the strength of the multistakeholder model.
