Thanks Thomas. This is a bit less robust than advertised. Can you please do more for us to ensure that what was sent to NTIA (which presumably reaches Congress) actually contained these statements? I don't think it is reasonable to assume that NTIA users of the CCWG will automatically attach our voting statements to whatever they communicate to Congress and others in Washington. If we can't get certainty on that, then I may need to go back to my constituency and get permission to take a more direct route. Thanks in advance for your anticipated follow through on the promise that our statements would be included in the package sent to the NTIA.

While I have not seen (but it may just be me) reference to the Chartering Organizations' letters in the Board submission to NTIA, I should mention that NTIA representatives are on the CCWG list and have therefore taken note of the Chartering Orgs statements. I hope this helps. Thomas Am 14.03.2016 um 20:57 schrieb James M. Bladel:
Thanks, Marika.
If I¹m understanding your message, we sent all materials to CCWG-ACCT, and these were references in their submission to the Board...but we have no confirmation that the Board included these materials in their submission to NTIA. Is this correct?
If so, then perhaps we could raise this question with Thomas. And I presume there is nothing to prevent us from submitting these directly to the folks at NTIA.
Thank you,
J.

Paul, for your information, please find attached the transmittal message from the CCWG-Accountability to the ICANN Board, which includes a link to the message that James sent which included the transmittal letter and attachments with statements as well as voting record. The transmittal message from the ICANN Board to NTIA can be found here http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2016-Mar ch/01 1 720.html. As far as I can tell, the ICANN Board transmittal does not seem to include the details of the consideration by the different chartering organisations, but I may have missed it as there are a number of attachments that have been provided.
Best regards,
Marika

James,
Can you confirm that, as promised, the CCWG-ACCT passed along the various voting statements to the Board and the Board, in turn, has passed them along to the NTIA? These are an important part of the record and we were assured they would end up in the hands of the NTIA. Hopefully, that happened as advertised. Thanks for checking and getting back to the List with news.
Best, Paul
