Thanks Julie. The SSAC reports are to be favoured, especially the clarity of rejection. -Carlton ============================== *Carlton A Samuels* *Mobile: 876-818-1799Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Mon, May 22, 2017 at 6:06 PM, Julie Hammer <julie.hammer@bigpond.com> wrote:

Hi Everyone,

Please note that the following SSAC Reports have been published:

*SAC093: SSAC Comments on the Draft Recommendations of the CCWG- Accountability-WS2 on SO/AC Accountability dated 18 May 2017*

In summary, the SSAC: - agrees that it would be beneficial to determine and implement those best practices which are applicable to SSAC’s structure and purpose - does not believe it is appropriate to incorporate an implementation review into the scope of future ATRTs - suggests that it would be more appropriate to incorporate such a review into the 5-yearly independent organizational reviews - does not support the formal “Accountabillity Roundtable” as proposed - suggests a more informal approach should be adopted, which involves the exchange of views, experiences and best practices during the course of regularly scheduled meetings between SO/AC chairs only - agrees that the IRP should not be made applicable to activities of SO/AC/Groups.

*SAC094: SSAC Response to the Request for Advice Relating to the 2012 New gTLD Round dated 22 May 2017*

This Report reviews and highlights in detail the recommendations from past SSAC Reports which have relevance to the 2012 New gTLD Round

Both Reports are attached and can also be found on the SSAC Reports <https://www.icann.org/groups/ssac/documents> webpage.

Cheers, Julie
