As you might recall, we were scheduled to endorse the final report of the CCWG-Accountability WS2 in Panama, but we delayed that because the Board had expressed some reservations about several of the recommendations. These concerns were addressed by providing implementation guidelines. Accordingly, I will be proposing that the ALAC endorse the report. However, I note that in our comment to the last Public Comment on the consolidated report we said "The recommendations formulated in the various sections of this report all have merit in advancing ICANN's transparency and accountability. However, taken together, they may amount to a daunting burden on ICANN Org and its volunteer community. For this reason ALAC recommends that as the recommendations are implemented, ICANN takes an approach to minimize the impact and work associated with following these recommendations." I would suggest that we repeat this caveat in our ratification of the report. Subject to any comments received in the rest of this week (by Friday), I will open a BigPulse vote to ratify the CCWG-Accountability WS2 report next week. For your convenience, I am attaching the abbreviated report with the recommendations, the full report including all annexes and the implementation plan addressing the Board's concerns. Alan
