Latest Version of Charter for the Accountability CCWG Drafting Team
by Grace Abuhamad Oct. 31, 2014

Oct. 31, 2014

Dear Public Experts, The Drafting Team for the Accountability CCWG is targeting a delivery date for the Charter of 3 November. The notes and recording for their latest meeting are available here: https://community.icann.org/x/dirxAg. The latest version of the Draft Charter is attached. It's also available on their Wiki here <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/49359098/Enhancing%20ICANN %20Accountability%20Draft%20Charter%20-%20Updated%2027%20October%202014.docx ?api=v2> . There is a section on page 5 of the Charter that addresses Expert Advisors. I've copied it here below for your convenience: In addition to input from the community, the CCWG is expected to solicit and consider the input from the up to seven advisors selected by the Public Experts Group (PEG) to provide independent advice, research and identify best practices, at an early stage of its deliberations. In addition to input that is specifically solicited by the CCWG, the CCWG is also expected to give due consideration to any additional advice or input that the advisors provide as part of the CCWG deliberations. The advisors are expected to contribute to the dialogue similar to other CCWG participants. However, should there be a need for any consensus call(s), the advisors would not participate in such a call. In addition to the advisors selected by the PEG, the CCWG may also identify additional advisors or experts to contribute to its deliberations in a similar manner as the advisors selected by the PEG. Should additional costs be involved in obtaining input from additional advisors or experts, prior approval must be obtained from ICANN. Such a request for approval should at a minimum include the rationale for selecting additional advisors or experts as well as expected costs. The CCWG should integrate one Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT) past participant to bring perspective and avoid duplication of work. Should there be an issue of a consensus call, the ATRT Expert would not participate in such a consensus call (unless the ATRT Expert is also selected as a member by one of the chartering organizations). The DT has its 3rd meeting on Thursday at 13:00 UTC. If you have any notes or comments to provide to the DT prior to their meeting, please let me know and I can put you in contact with the Chairs (Thomas Rickert and Mathieu Weill) and/or forward your note the DT mailing list. Best, Grace

Meeting in Los Angeles
by Grace Abuhamad Oct. 3, 2014

Oct. 3, 2014

Dear Public Experts, In order to help schedule a meeting for you during ICANN51, I have created a Doodle poll for you to fill out: http://doodle.com/n4655vtqtq6nf58e. Tuesday or Wednesday morning seem to work best with your schedules. I made the meetings no later than 2pm local time so as to allow for Jeannette to dial in at a reasonable hour. How long would you like the meeting to be? The Doodle poll has 30min increments just to see when (and for how long) you are available, but I can schedule the meeting for however long you would like. An hour? 90 min? Please let me know. Best, Grace

Colleagues, Attached is a proposed agenda for our October 2, 2014 conference call. Please review and edit as you see fit. Also attached are excerpts from public comments received that address the Public Expert Group and the Advisors that we are charged to appoint. I did not summarize the comments in their entirety and commend the full comments to your attention as they add important context to the process. I also include the letter of September 18, 2014 letter from Steve Crocker and Fadi Chehade to SO/AC/SG and Constituency Leadership as important background. https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/crocker-chehade-to-soa… Question & Answer numbers 9-11 address the Public Expert Group and Advisors. I look forward to any edits to the agenda and our call. Best, Brian
