Dear Tijani, I have done some changes (changes are tracked in the document) and please feel free to amend where necessary. Also instead of asking a question in the document, it is better to come with a recommendation. I have modified the following to the paragraph below: 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 do we ensure that the ICANN members will be accountable to the community???? With the membership model, we do not solve it but instead move the accountability issue from the board to the members The final aim of the CCWG work is to enhance the Accountability to the community in a transparent manner. The membership model would enhance the accountability of the board to the ICANN members. With the membership model, we do not solve the accountability problem but instead shift the issue from the board to the members. Therefore we recommend that checks and balances should be put in place at the membership level to ensure that the members are accountable to the community.

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@yahoo.com> wrote:
Dear Aziz, Tijani et al,
Please find attached an edited version of the English Document with tracked changes. I would also like to slightly edit Tijani's suggested additions.

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.
