These four public consultations can be found at: · Enhancing Accountability - Recommendations for Diversity – Closes 5 January 2018 - https://www.icann.org/public-comments/accountability-diversi ty-2017-10-26-en · Recommendations to Improve ICANN's Office of Ombudsman (IOO) – Closes 5 January 2018 - https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ioo-recs-2017-11-10-en · Enhancing Accountability – Recommendations for Jurisdiction – Closes 5 January 2018 - https://www.icann.org/public-comments/accountability-recs-2017-11-13-en · Enhancing Accountability – Recommendations and Guidelines for Staff Accountability – Closes 5 January 2018 - https://www.icann.org/public-comments/recommendations-on-ica nn-jurisdiction-2017-11-14-en As explained and documented since ICANN 58 the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 will be publishing a final integrated report of all recommendations for public comment but will only be seeking comments on the resolution of any inconsistencies between the various individual report recommendations. As such, the community, including all SOs and ACs, are encouraged to provide any substantial comments they may have on the recommendations in the individual reports during the public consultations on these individual reports. The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 would like to take this occasion to remind the community that these recommendations will affect all parts of the ICANN community directly and as such the community is strongly encouraged to take the time to consider these and comment during the public comment period. It is also important to note that although all comments are considered equally that it is just as important for the community to show support for those recommendations they agree with. The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs Thomas Rickert, Jordan Carter and Tijani Ben Jemaa _______________________________________________ soac-chairs mailing list soac-chairs@icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/soac-chairs
