Dear all, I am moving this exchange to the wp3 list. Best regards Alice From: Paul Twomey <paul.twomey@argopacific.com<mailto:paul.twomey@argopacific.com>> Date: Thursday, July 2, 2015 4:45 AM To: "accountability-cross-community@icann.org<mailto:accountability-cross-community@icann.org>" <accountability-cross-community@icann.org<mailto:accountability-cross-community@icann.org>>, León Felipe Sánchez Ambía <leonfelipe@sanchez.mx<mailto:leonfelipe@sanchez.mx>>, Alice Jansen <alice.jansen@icann.org<mailto:alice.jansen@icann.org>> Subject: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] WP3 - Call for Volunteers Dear Leon Thanks for these thought starters. May I suggest as we start this work perhaps it would be useful to have staff to compile a list of items under various accountability headings (e.g transparency, financial accountability, accountable behaiviour to community members, and other items you have included in the thought starters etc) from the existing documents and reviews that ICANN has undertaken over the last 7 years or more to define the accountability of staff, SO/ACs etc. In particular the documents for review should include: * The Affirmation of Accountabilities in 2010 (and follow on recommendations) * The ICANN Accountability and Transparency Frameworks and Principles in 2008 (attached, as it is hard to find on the present ICANN website), and * The various One World Trust Reports on ICANN Accountability Benchmarks and Metrics (eg.https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-03-04-en ) If we have this list of relevant paragraphs under various heads of responsibilities, we will have a first document of existing commitments which we can review and then suggest amendment or augmentation. I suggest that this will speed up our considerations. For instance the relevant sections of the 2008 principles could be: * Commitments to Transparency in the ICANN Bylaws * Documentary Information Disclosure Policy * Responding to Information Requests * The consultative planning process by the ICANN community sets strategic direction and determines operational priorities and budgets; * The schedule of reviews of ICANN’s structure according to Article IV, Section 4 of the ICANN bylaws; * Translation Principles that guide the translation of documents within the ICANN community; * Consultation Principles that guide the consultation processes that are used to generate community input on ICANN issues; * A statement of expected standards of behavior which outlines the standards of behavior expected of those who participate in the ICANN process. This of course is not complete, but it will give us a start.

Staff has circulated a doodle poll to schedule our first call and an email list has been created as well. We have a lot of work to do in very little time. I suggest we begin work already by dividing it into sub-groups that can have deeper looks into these emerging issues: - Staff & management accountability - SO(AC accountability - Enhancement of diversity - Board rules For this work I encourage everyone to review the discussion starter documents that have been circulated by Mathieu and that are attached in PDF to this email. These documents will help us start our work and provide us initial suggestions as to how we can structure our output. We should, ideally, have a draft document for each issue by July 14 so it can be sent to the wider group and reviewed in our meeting in Paris. An optimal initial output could be to, at least, have a list of actions that should be included in both WS1 and WS2 so we can then work in more detail in those catalogued as WS1 either before or in our meeting in Paris.
