Thanks Paul. I think Item 1 as listed would have to say that the CCWG Recommendation in question is actually approved by all the Chartering Organizations for the CCWG, not just "a recommendation from the CCWG"I am not commenting on 2 or 3 (or the general approach taken here) at this stage since I have not had time to consider those.AnneOn Sat, Mar 2, 2024 at 5:14 AM Paul McGrady via council <council@gnso.icann.org> wrote:_______________________________________________Thans Greg!

Dear Councilors,
Please note the proposed bylaw update to “Limit Access to Accountability Mechanisms” below. I think this directly relates to our ongoing conversation about Board Resolutions 2023.10.26.11 and 2023.10.26.12 at ICANN 78 (see our most recent letter on this subject here: https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2024/correspondence/dibiase-to-sinha-09jan24-en.pdf ). We can discuss further at our Council Working Session on Sunday.
Thanks,
Greg

Engagement Booth Outreach
You are welcome to come and do outreach at the ICANN Engagement booth @ICANN79. The ICANN Engagement booth is in place for Newcomers, ICANN org and the ICANN community to engage in discussions. It is supported by volunteers from the community, including members of ICANN’s Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. We would like to offer 1-hour slots during the ICANN79 meeting week.
NEW: Looking Ahead to the March Board Workshop and ICANN79
Whether you are attending this Community Forum in person or joining us online, your participation underscores the strength of our shared commitment to the future of ICANN and to a secure, stable, and unified global Internet.
Information Sharing
NEW: Enhancing Accessibility on the Information Transparency Platform
Findings and recommended changes from the accessibility audit report have been categorized and are being addressed based on priority, with the most critical areas largely addressed.
NEW: A New ICANN Project to Measure Metadata on Domain Names
ICANN Domain Metrica is designed to be modular, extensible, and transparent. It will grow over time with new data points on domain names, as we incorporate new data sources and the output of our research.
NEW: ICANN Seeks Input on Proposed Amendment to Article 4 of the Bylaws
The proposed Bylaws amendment sets out the process through which the ICANN community can limit access to ICANN's Reconsideration Request and Independent Review Processes (collectively, "Accountability Mechanisms") in specific circumstances, and in a streamlined manner.
NEW: ICANN to Generate New DNS Cryptographic Key at April 2024 Ceremony
Generating the new key is slated for 26 April 2024 as part of the 53rd KSK Ceremony. The key will be replicated to an alternate facility in the third quarter of 2024.
NEW: IFR2 Team Starts Review of Key ICANN Function
The review team has determined an initial methodology for conducting detailed fact-finding. An outreach plan to get input from the direct customers of the IANA Naming Function Process, as well as the broader ICANN community, is under development.
Community Consultation On Timing and Potential Deferral of ATRT4 Review
ICANN org is initiating consultation with the community to seek input on the timing of the Fourth Accountability and Transparency Review (ATRT4) and whether there is a need for a deferral of the ATRT4 for a limited time. A consultation approach is being used because it will allow for a targeted conversation with the SO/AC Chairs and their constituencies. While ATRT4 is of general interest to the entire ICANN community, it is important for the Board and org to understand whether the SO/ACs would be available to come together to populate, perform and deliver the recommendations within the ATRT4 while carrying out their other work.
Members of the ICANN org Review Support and Accountability team are available to meet with interested community groups during ICANN79 or after to address questions about ATRT4 Timing and other Review Topics.
To schedule a meeting to discuss, please contact: rsa-coordinators@icann.org
Community consultation and engagement activities leading up to and during ICANN79 include:
- ICANN79 Prep Week Webinar (Thursday, 22 February)
- ICANN79 Community Session on ATRT4 Deferral and Pilot Holistic Review (Tuesday, 5
March)
- ICANN79 briefings (at the request of your community group)
