A few minutes back, I attended the ICANN83 GAC and Board Meeting as a  Registered Virtual Participant.

ATRT4 postponement was deliberated within the limited time budgeted.

I observed in the meeting chat that "Accountability" is always "past tense" and requires and external entity to trigger. The external trigger in ATRT4 is not clear.

The key speakers were nicely wording the need for holistic review and need for a definition for Accountability in this context.

Your thoughts...

Michael, 
Thank you for sharing the link to your article on CircleID. 

I thought it'd be a good idea to also share the link to Avri's blog post that you mentioned in your email ...

Is ICANN giving up its claim to Bottom Up Multistakeholder Process legitimacy?

Cheers
David

Hello All,

 

After being inspired by Avri’s blog piece last week on this topic, I decided to author my own piece on this topic, which is now available on CircleID, see https://circleid.com/posts/icann-is-broken

 

Best regards,

 

Michael
