Welcome, roll call & introductions * Please remember to mute your microphones when not speaking * Introduction of co-chairs - Thomas Rickert (GNSO) & Mathieu Weill (ccNSO). Additional co-chairs may be appointed by other chartering organizations. * Introduction of support staff for the CCWG: Grace Abuhamad, Adam Peake, Bart Boswinkel, Marika Konings, Berry Cobb. Note that Grace and Adam will be the primary points of contact for this effort. * Roll call will be taken based on the attendance in Adobe Connect, asking those that are only on the phone bridge to identify themselves. * Everyone is expected to complete a statement of interest - staff will follow up with those that have not provided one yet * When signing into Adobe Connect, add your affiliation in brackets after your name to facilitate identification of participants * Please use the Adobe Connect hands raised function to indicate if you want to join the speaking queue. For an introduction to Adobe Connect, please see https://admin.adobe.acrobat.com/_a227210/participatemeeting/. Action item: Everyone to provide / complete their statement of interest, if not done so yet 2. Update on Membership & Participation * Participants participate in the same way as chartering organization appointed members * Chartering organization appointed members have an additional role as they are responsible for reaching out to their respective chartering organizations and ensure that information goes back and forth from CCWG to chartering organization * No formal votes / consensus calls are planned to be taken as the chairs intend to operate on the basis of consensus of the whole CCWG (any formal consensus call would involve chartering organizations appointed members only). * No decisions will be taken on the basis of one single call - any decisions / agreements will be circulated on the mailing list at a minimum to allow for participants to provide input before a decision / agreement is considered final. Action item: Contact Grace if you are interested in volunteering as the ATRT Past Participant (for members/participants that have participated in ATRTI/II) 3. Review of CCWG-Accountability Charter * Review of presentation (Please see presentation that was circulated together with the agenda) * Public Experts Group (PEG) Update - announcement will be made shortly concerning 6 advisors which have been selected. 7th advisor still being identified (local law, choice of law, jurisprudence). * Will there be an expert who can identify what is possible under Californian law/international law? CCWG can reach out to advisors, including their networks, to provide input or aim to address those issues directly. * The CCWG will be free to identify and request additional advisors, if need be. * ATRTI/II discussed / researched some of these questions so some of that information may be available in those reports and should be consulted first. * Mechanism for delivery of work stream 1 deliverable - delivery of WS1 proposal is expected to occur following approval of the ICANN Board. Board liaison is participating in CCWG and may be able to raise any potential issues ahead of time, should there be any. Process by which the Board intends to consider the proposal can be found here: https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2014-10-16-en#2.d and is also referenced in the charter. * How will this CCWG liaise / interface with the IANA Stewardship Transition CWG and ICG? There are two individuals serving as the ICG liaison (Keith Drazek and Kavouss Arasteh). In relation to the IANA Stewardship Transition CWG, weekly calls have been scheduled between the chairs of the two CWGs to ensure co-ordination and communication. Action item: Everyone is expected to be familiar with the charter so please review the charter in detail if you have not done so yet. 4. Confirm Working Methods * See also slide deck * Rotation of meetings - initial proposal was 11.00 and 14.00 UTC. Other rotations have been used by other groups which may also be explored. * No firm decisions are taking into account in one single meeting - any proposed decisions / agreements will be open to review / comment by those that may not have been able to attend a meeting * Members are expected to communicate the views of the communities that have selected them to the CCWG but also communicate back information and deliberations from the CCWG to their respective communities * All are expected to be familiar with and remain consistent with the pre-existing documents and documents developed during the course of the work of the CCWG. * Provide substantive issues ahead of the meeting (ideally 12 hours in advance) * Where/how to post documents on the wiki space? * Audio-cast will be available for those interested in following the meetings - please share that link instead of the Adobe Connect link which is intended to be the workspace for members & participants * Please share documents not only in proprietary format but always include at a minimum a pdf version Action item: Staff to review current make-up of CCWG and suggest a rotation that takes into account location of members & participants. (to be shared later today or tomorrow) 5. Timeline * See timeline slides presented - any comments / input encouraged * Is it the intention that the CCWG finishes its work after Final Report on WS2 or could it continue as a standing CCWG? Charter does not foresee that the CCWG would continue on an indefinite basis - group is expected to close. But CCWG could make a recommendation to that end should it be deemed appropriate? * Further details will be included in the timeline as the CCWG fleshes out its work Action item: All to provide feedback on draft timeline 6. Foundation for Work Plan Suggested committees: * Area I: Look at existing accountability mechanisms, including ATRTI/II recommendations. Co-ordinator/Rapporteur: David Maher / Samantha Eisner * Area II: Review input received in response to earlier public comment period on accountability and categorize items in WS1 and WS2 or both, including identifying proposals that have been made. Deliverable: list of items that have been suggested and identify whether these belong in WS1, WS2 or both. Co-ordinator/Rapporteur: Steve DelBianco * Area III: Review what has been identified by IANA Transition CWG in relation to accountability and whether that is all WS1 related. Co-ordinator/Rapporteur: TBC * Area IV: Identify contingencies that could be relevant to accountability mechanisms, especially in relation to WS1. Co-ordinator/Rapporteur: Eric Brunner-Williams * Input received in response to public comment could include broader issues / recommendations than just area II * Individual mailing list will be set up for these sub-committees to faciliate their work. * Sub-committees to develop proposed approach / timeline in time for next meeting Action item: Volunteers to come forward for these sub-teams prior to the meeting next week, especially a co-ordinator / rapporteur for Area III. 7.
