Subject: CCWG Accountability Update for the ccNSO council

Dear Byron,

 

Since I’m not attending the ccNSO council call, I prepared the following update.

 

I seize the opportunity to thank Kim and Bart for their outstanding support in the organization of the webinars !

 

Best

Mathieu

 

Dear Councillors,

 

Thank you for dedicating time to the work of the CCWG Accountability. I apologize for not being able to attend the call in person, due to a conflict with my own Board's meeting. I know that Becky Burr should attend and she is certainly the right person to answer any of your questions. 

 

I thought it would be useful to provide a short written update : 

 

In terms of timeline, which we discussed last time, the CCWG accountability has published on November 15 a Formal Update regarding progress made in Dublin and after (https://www.icann.org/news/blog/ccwg-accountability-issues-formal-update-on-progress-made-in-and-after-icann54-in-dublin). This document provides a preview of most of the recommendations that the group should publish as part of its Draft Report on November 30th. 

 

The Draft report will be, as planned, open for public comments until 21st December but also sent for consideration of the Chartering Organizations. We are still planning on receiving confirmation of support or feedbacks from the Chartering Organizations in that same timeframe. 

 

In case the support could not be confirmed across all Chartering organizations, we would quickly turn around a Supplementary Draft Report that would be submitted for your consideration in January. 

 

In terms of the recommendations to be expected, I am also happy to report that the group is making progress towards finalization of the last outstanding items, and that this progress is consistent with the conclusions of the Dublin ccNSO sessions. Specifically :

- the need for community dialogue in the exercice of the community powers is embedded in several steps of the escalation process that lead to the exercice of such powers

- the Sole Designator model is now the reference model for enforcement 

- the compromise approach to the removal of SO/AC appointed Board directors is consistent with the Dublin discussions

- As discussed in Dublin, a caretaker budget is designed to address the concerns about the potential adverse effects of a 1 year Budget veto (PTI budget is still a separate process)

- the exclusion of ccTLD delegations and revocations from the scope of the IRP is maintained

- the mission and core values are being refined and a way forward has been found to accomodate concerns from the IAB

- Human rights provision will be added to the Bylaws

- an exception to the community right to veto a bylaw change will be carved out to address the concerns raised in Dublin

- Stress test 18 discussions are under way to find an appropriate way forward. 

 

With this progress, we are confident that the proposals will meet the CWG conditions. 

 

While I apologize for not attending the call, please feel free to channel any question or feedback to our group. 

 

I wish you a fruitful meeting, and look forward to our future meetings. 

 

Best,

Mathieu
