In relation to the Enhancing ICANN Accountability CCWG and the action item that 'Each GNSO Stakeholder Group should identify one member for the CWG by 20 November 2014 taking into account the charter requirement’, I thought it might be helpful to refer to the charter requirements which state that: Best efforts should be made to ensure that individual members: * Have sufficient expertise to participate in the applicable subject matter (see for example https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/enhancing-accountability-faqs-2014-08-... for areas identified for expertise); * Commit to actively participate in the activities of the CCWG-Accountability on an ongoing and long-term basis; and * Where appropriate, solicit and communicate the views and concerns of individuals in the organization that appoints them.
