Dear Grace, Thank you for the 6pp {.docx & .pdf format} versions of Larry's and Fadi's remarks. Eric On 1/13/15 7:16 PM, Grace Abuhamad wrote:
Dear all,
Attached is a document I pulled together for the CCWG Drafting Team in October. It's a compilation of the official remarks/speeches made by Larry Strickling and Fadi Chehade at different events from August through October. The Drafting Team used this document to help inform its work in developing the Charter for the CCWG.
The Chairs thought it may be useful to share with this WA4 group so that you could perhaps map the contingencies you are developing to the contingencies they list in their remarks.
A specific example Larry Strickling gave at ICANN51 was a mechanism of Board recall. This comment was in response to a question so it was not included in the original document (attached).
LARRY STRICKLING: SO I -- SO FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE NOTED IN PRIOR PUBLIC STATEMENTS THAT THE ABSENCE OF A BOARD RECALL MECHANISM FOR THE COMMUNITY, THAT WOULD SEEM TO ME TO BE THE KIND OF QUESTION THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE WITHIN THE MORE LIMITED INITIAL SCOPE OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY --
NOW, THAT'S A BIG ISSUE. IT'S NOT A TINY ISSUE WHATSOEVER. BUT IT DOES SEEM TO ME THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF ISSUES PEOPLE WILL HAVE CONCERN ABOUT WHEN THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF -- WHAT PREVENTS THIS ORGANIZATION FROM SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL WHEN THE U.S. CONTRACT ISN'T THERE ANY LONGER.
NOBODY EXPECTS IT TO HAPPEN, BUT I THINK ALL OF US, TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO THIS TRANSITION, NEED TO THINK THROUGH THOSE POSSIBILITIES AND UNDERSTAND WHAT MECHANISMS EXIST TODAY OR NEED TO BE PUT INTO PLACE TO PREVENT BAD THINGS LIKE THAT FROM HAPPENING.
Best, Grace
