RIP: virtual meeting room "CWG-Stewardship" :(
by Grace Abuhamad Jan. 14, 2015

Jan. 14, 2015

Dear all, As you know, we have been having technical difficulties with our virtual meeting room since Saturday. After today, the third time we were delayed due to a technical issue, we've had to retire the "CWG-Stewardship" room. Perhaps you could say the meeting room stayed on track with the original ICG timeline and self-destructed as we approached the original target date :) Going forward, we will use a new AC room for all of our calls: https://icann.adobeconnect.com/cwg-iana I sincerely apologize for the delayed start of our meetings and for the last minute changes that you've all accommodated so well. I know your volunteer time is precious and that you've already dedicated so much to this effort (and others). Talk to you all Thursday for the full CWG call at 14:00 UTC. We will update the call notices. Best, Grace

by Jonathan Robinson Jan. 14, 2015

Jan. 14, 2015

All, RFP 3 Sub-Group (AKA RFP 3b) - CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS Please note this urgent call for volunteers for a sub-group of RFP3. The sub-group is required to work together to further develop a variant proposal for the CWG which takes account of proposals and comments received by the CWG, particularly as they relate to a so-called "internal to ICANN" option or variant to the original draft proposal of the CWG. Allan Mc Gillivray has offered to assist with co-ordination of the group and it will need a committed team to work with Allan in short order to make the requisite progress. Thank-you. Jonathan CWG Co-chair

Stress Test Scenarios: Comments requested CWG wide
by Sivasubramanian M Jan. 13, 2015

Jan. 13, 2015

Hello Please take a look at the Stress Test Scenarios https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QVC12Q-NuB35pyaBirUDF85DBR_oFHkEYC5vbWu… The stress tests form part of the work area for RFP 4, but it would help if a few more outside RFP4 also comment on these scenarios. You could either edit the spread sheet or share your comments on this thread. Thank you. Sivasubramanian M <https://www.facebook.com/sivasubramanian.muthusamy>

Fwd: [CCWG-Accountability] Prior work on Accountability structures in 2012
by Greg Shatan Jan. 12, 2015

Jan. 12, 2015

All, This may be of interest to our group as well. Greg ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bruce Tonkin <Bruce.Tonkin(a)melbourneit.com.au> Date: Sat, Jan 10, 2015 at 8:03 PM Subject: [CCWG-Accountability] Prior work on Accountability structures in 2012 To: "accountability-cross-community(a)icann.org" < accountability-cross-community(a)icann.org> Hello All, >From the ATRT1 review, the Board created the Accountability Structures Expert panel (ASEP) to recommend improvements to the current accountability structures. I have attached their final report from: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-26oct12-en.pdf from October 2012. It may be of some use to this group. Some points I picked out from their recommendations: The Four Es: • Enhancing effectiveness of structures • Efficiency in process • Allowing expeditious resolution • Enhancing community’s ease of access to accountability structures “The Board must always act with objectivity and fairness in the best interests of ICANN, but in doing so take account of the legitimate needs, interests and expectations of stakeholders material to the issue being decided. Staff must act in same manner." Create stability through building of precedent Where possible, reduce burden and costs to those accessing structures Accountability structures should not preclude any party from filing suit against ICANN in court of competent jurisdiction Regards, Bruce _______________________________________________ Accountability-Cross-Community mailing list Accountability-Cross-Community(a)icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/accountability-cross-community

CWG, Accountability and CCWG
by Avri Doria Jan. 11, 2015

Jan. 11, 2015

Hi, I read the notes, but did not find my answer there. So I will ask. One of the points I was trying to bring up during session 3 is that different models might place different accountability requirements on ICANN. With the Contract Co type of model, ie. an independent holder of a contract that could be reassigned, since an RFP is always pending that remains a final accountability backstop on any organization holding the IANA contract, in this case ICANN. In some way that lessens the urgency for iron clad, irrevocable accountability measures (including some proposals that include Board oversight mechanisms) that seem to be fundamental requirements in the variety of internal models. And even in the cases that we might argue that maximalist accountabilty mechanisms is a good thing no matter which path CWG chooses, it may move some requirements from CCWG track 1 to CCWG track 2. That is the accountability mechanisms that need to be in place before we can go forward with the transition may vary depending on the model we choose. Note, I am not trying to make the case on which is easier or less expensive at this point - all proposals need further development to figure out costs and we still need to come to terms with what the full cost to registrants, registrars, and registries (the 3Rs) the current IANA setup is while it is integrated into the ICANN budget. At this point, I am just concerned that we collect the information with this type of evaluation in mind. So I am hoping that in the quest to list the accountability requirements we take that into account. I also think we need to take that into account when we measure costs over time, both for setup costs and recurring/operating costs. In any case I am willing to help Alan with the task of collecting and collating these various requirements. Would have volunteered on the spot had I been in the meeting. In the CCWG Accountability, I have taken responsibility as coordinator/rapporteur for Work Area 3: Review Issues Identified by CWG-Stewardship - so I am fully committed to this bit of XCWG work. thanks and apologies for missing this important session. avri
