Hello Tijani, Sure, we have actually indicated earlier (which was suggested by Muwendwa and supported by a number of people including myself) that statement for numbers/protocol can be sent in for incorporation. So we can add up Muwendwa's statement as the numbers part of the overall statement, although it would have been very helpful if it came earlier than now. Nevertheless its better late than never and i hope the community would review the statement provided by Muwendwa and suggest further edits accordingly. If anyone wants to write something about protocol parameters, it will be helpful as well. I believe there will still be room to edit this during the face 2 face meeting.

Colleagues, Many thanks to Tijani, Mwendwa, and Seun. This are very good observations, let us consolidate the views and share them with other members of the global internet community. Well done.

Thank you very much Beran for your review. It is really helpful. I accepted almost all your language corrections except one that I found not too correct. Perhaps Seun can find with you the best text. As for your question about the word "un-interested", the meaning we intent was that it is done not for particular or private interest, but only for the public interest. Thanks again Tijani On ven 19/06/15 11:43 , Beran Dondeh <berandondeh(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Dear Aziz, Tijani et al, > > Please find attached an edited version of the English Document with > tracked changes.

Fwd: [ALAC-Announce] UPDATE - Buenos Aires Schedule / Sunday 21 June 2015
by Barrack Otieno June 21, 2015

June 21, 2015

Colleagues, FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2015 13:26:20 +0000 Subject: [ALAC-Announce] UPDATE - Buenos Aires Schedule / Sunday 21 June 2015 To: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>, ALAC Announce <alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Dear All, Please also note the following session: Sunday 21 June 2015 IANA Stewardship Transition & Evolution of ICANN Accountability<https://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/schedule/sun-iana-stewardship-accountabi…> 18:30-20:00 Libertador C Overview: Moderator: Theresa Swinehart Speaker: Larry Strickling, Asst. Secretary of Commerce, NTIA Adminstrator Panelists: * Leon Sanchez, co-chair, CCWG * Thomas Rickert, co-chair, CCWG * Samantha Eisner, ICANN * Nii Quaynor, Evolution and Reform Committee (2002) * Alejandro Pisanty, Evolution and Reform Committee (2002) * Lyman Chapin, Evolution and Reform Committee (2002) While the ICANN community focuses intently on ICANN's accountability in response to NTIA's desire to transition its stewardship of the IANA functions to the multistakeholder community, it is important to understand that "accountability" has always been a top priority of the ICANN community. But over ICANN's 17 years of existence, and as the organization has matured and expanded, have the accountability issues and concerns evolved? Are they different? The Committee on Evolution and Reform, established by a Board resolution during the ICANN meeting in Accra, Ghana in 2002, took on issues of accountability which led to new reforms and mechanisms. Additional mechanisms are being developed by the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG). Chairs and members from both groups will participate in this panel discussion looking at how ICANN's accountability has evolved. Before the discussion begins, NTIA Adminstrator Larry Strickling will be introduced to present his views on both the IANA Stewardship Transition and accountability proposals developed to date. Thank you.

Cher Aziz et tous, Vous trouvez en fichier attaché la traduction du projet de statement de la réunion conjointe AFRALO / AfrICANN à laquelle j'ai apporté quelques retouches. J'y ai aussi ajouté le paragraphe que j'ai envoyé il y a quelques heures en anglais.

Dear Aziz and all, May I add a paragraph to the accountability part of our statement before the last bullet point in the following mannar: • All the accountability mechanisms should avoid leading to courts as much as possible. In fact, we do not accept that ICANN affairs be managed by courts in whatever jurisdiction. ICANN is an example of a triving multistakeholder community and we should endeavor to protect that as much as possible. Added paragraph: • The final aim of the CCWG work is to enhance the Accountability to the community. The membership model would enhance the accountability of the board to the ICANN members, but how we can ensure that the ICANN members will be accountable to the community???? With the membership model, we move the accountability issue from the board to the members, but we do not solve it. • The community group that will act on behalf of the respective community stakeholders to exercise the powers mentioned in the report should be as inclusive as possible. We prefer equal footing for all SOs and ACs, but can live with the composition proposed in the report. Finally, we reiterate our support to the CWG-Stewardship and the CCWG-Accountability groups and appreciate the progress made so far. However, we think that their proposals need further work to find the right multi-stakeholder solution for the stewardship transition and the best ways to empower the community using the right means and avoiding ICANN the risk of being weakened or loose its independence, its inclusiveness and its multi-stakeholder nature.
