by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Aug. 31, 2015

Aug. 31, 2015

Dear ALAC and At-Large Community Members, [Apologies for cross-posting - subject matter is important and time sensitive] The Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) on Accountability has published its 2nd draft report, which contains its updated proposal for enhancing ICANN’s accountability as part of the IANA Stewardship Transition process. I would like to urge you to spare some time and attention to analyze the proposal and to provide the views of the At-Large community through the public comments process, which will end on Sep12th. Your views are important because the work on accountability has implications for ICANN's governance. *To be more informed on the proposal and on the response of the ICANN Board to the proposal, I recommend that you attend the following calls this week:* (1) CCWG meeting with advisors today (31 August) at 13:00 UTC. (2) CCWG briefing to the ICANN Board today (31 August) at 22:00 UTC. (3) CCWG-Board Dialogue on 2 September at 22:00 UTC (note that this is expected to be a 3 hour discussion). These calls are open and the information on how to participate via Adobe Connect is included below. *Relevant links and information* ALAC draft statement on CCWG proposal - ( https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Cross+Community+… ) ICANN call for Public Comments on the CCWG proposal – ( https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-accountability-2015-08-03-en) CCWG Accountability Wiki Page – ( https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/CCWG+on+Enhancing+ICANN+A… ) Adobe Connect links for the calls: *31 August - CCWG Meeting with Advisors* | 13:00 UTC | https://icann.adobeconnect.com/accountability/ <https://icann.adobeconnect.com/accountability/> *31 August* - *CCWG Briefing to the Board | *22:00 UTC | https://icann.adobeconnect.com/accountability/ <https://icann.adobeconnect.com/accountability/> *2 September - CCWG/Board Dialogue Call* | 22:00 - 01:00 AM/UTC | Adobe Connect: https://icann.adobeconnect.com/dialogue/ Best regards, Rinalia Abdul Rahim
