by Gabriella Schittek June 25, 2014

June 25, 2014

Dear all, We are looking for a total of four volunteers to join a cross-community team, which will be responsible for drafting the charter of the upcoming cross-community Working Group on the IANA Stewardship transition. Once the charter has been approved, another call for volunteers will follow for the cross-community Working Group itself. We are looking for people that preferably have experience in drafting charters, are interested the NTIA Evaluation Transition process and cross-community work. A list of items which need to be addressed are listed below. As the charter needs to be finished as soon as possible, the team members are expected to be available for a short time frame, but with a high time commitment. If you are interested in joining this team, please, let us know by sending me an email by Wednesday, 2 July. The Council will appoint the drafting team members at their Council meeting later that day. Kind regards, Gabi == Items to be addressed by the Charter Drafting Team: - Purpose and Scope (what is in and what is out of scope) - Goals and objectives - Deliverables - Timeline - Proposed approach (how is the WG expected to conduct its work, reporting to chartering organizations) - Relationship with Coordination Group as proposed by ICANN (see https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/process-next-steps-2014-06-06-en) - Membership / sponsorship (should membership be limited, open to anyone interested?) - Sponsorship / chartering organizations (should sponsorship be restricted to ICANN structures or also extend to external organizations?) - Staffing / support needed - Rules of engagement - Decision-making methodology (how are decisions made in the WG and how are these reflected in the recommendations) - Process for review / adoption of proposal by chartering organizations (also addressing what would happen if one of the chartering organizations would not adopt the proposal) - Closure of the WG

GNSO joint statement on accountability
by Burr, Becky June 25, 2014

June 25, 2014

I believe that all GNSO constituency chairs + ALAC will deliver the following statement in the public forum tomorrow: The entire GNSO [and ALAC] join together today calling for the Board to support community creation of an independent accountability mechanism that provides meaningful review and adequate redress for those harmed by ICANN action or inaction in contravention of an agreed upon compact with the community. This deserves the Board's serious consideration - not only does it reflect an unprecedented level of consensus across the entire ICANN community, it is a necessary and integral element of the IANA stewardship transition. True accountability does not mean ICANN is only accountable to itself, or to some vague definition of "the world." It does not mean that governments should have the ultimate say over community policy without regard to the rule of law. Rather, the Board's decisions must be open to challenge and the Board cannot be in a position of reviewing and certifying its own decisions. We need an independent accountability structure that holds the ICANN Board, Staff, and various stakeholder groups accountable under ICANN's governing documents, serves as an ultimate review of Board/Staff decisions, and through the creation of precedent, creates prospective guidance for the board, the staff, and the entire community. As part of the IANA stewardship transition, the multi-stakeholder community has the opportunity and responsibility to propose meaningful accountability structures that go beyond just the IANA-specific accountability issues. We are committed to coming together and developing recommendations for creation of these mechanisms. We ask the ICANN Board and Staff to fulfill their obligations and support this community driven, multi-stakeholder initiative. In our comments on the accountability process, the ccNSO Council said something very similar: “[A]ccountability requires "mechanisms for independent checks and balances as well as for review and redress.”[1] This agreed upon definition should be the foundation and reference of ICANN’s further work on Accountability. Accordingly, we propose that the goal of this process should be to ensure that a system of checks and balances is in place to guarantee that ICANN operates in accordance with an agreed upon set of principles, and that meaningful redress is available to those who are harmed by actions or inactions of ICANN in contravention of those principles.” The Council may want to join or associate itself with the group comments. ________________________________ [1] See NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement<http://netmundial.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/NETmundial-Multistakeholder…> J.
