Hello all, a follow-up. Things have been going rather slowly on the ICANN accountability front. The Cross Community Working Group on ICANN Accountability is still not formed. There was an initial proposal that there be 7 people from At-Large to be selected to be on the cross community working group. Now the next steps have been published: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-14-en With an info-graphic showing: https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/assets/process-infographic-14aug14... As a result, the Cross "Community Working Group on ICANN Accountability & Governance" could be filled with as many people as we wish it to be, or as many as the charter will allow - and so far the proposal is that the Board writes the CCWG's Charter. There will also need to be a selection of 1 participant from each ICANN SO & AC & SG. - so our already formed Selection Committee are definitely going to need to make a selection of at least 1 person to go on the "ICANN Accountability & Governance Coordination Group". But please wait until a call for candidates is sent out. We cannot just collect names of applicants if we don't know what those applicants are going to apply for! I have heard some feedback from many sources in the past few days. Some consider this structure to be too complex. Some are concerned that this proposal was made, with no possibility of community feedback. So this might not be the last version of the system that will be put in place. It certainly appears to be a laborious process to get the ball rolling on this. Kindest regards, Olivier On 15/08/2014 02:20, Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond wrote:
Thank you Rinalia. Worth noting, SO,AC and SG Chairs have had a call with ICANN Staff Leadership today and the only topic of the call was the process described here. It appears that the new revised structure still does not satisfy significant portions of the GNSO. As soon as the transcript is published, I'll forward its details to the ALAC.
Kindest regards,
Olivier
