Dear Cheryl, Farzaneh and Steve, Thank you very much for this report and for leading the subgroup to arrive into this excellent piece of work. Your leadership has been exemplary. I would also like to thank everyone in the subgroup for their tireless work and dedication but most of all their openness and willingness to reach the consensus reflected on this work. We take note of the caveat mentioned and look forward to the discussion and, hopefully, final sign off by our plenary. Once again, thank you very much for your work and dedication, specially through these challenging times you all have been going through lately. Kind regards, León Enviado desde mi iPhone

16th September 2017,
Dear Co-Chairs
The WS2 Sub-Group on AC_SO_Accountability is pleased to present to the CCWG-Accountability WS2 our Final Report titled 'Plenary Draft' for discussion, review, and consideration.
On Thursday 14th of September at our 33rd meeting, the Sub-Group finalized with full consensus of those in attendance and no indication from the mailing list of any objection or concern, the attached Final Report after our detailed consideration of the Public Comments received on our earlier Interim Report.
At this same meeting, it was also formally agreed, that in our opinion the edits and changes made to our Report as a result of Public Comment input consideration were not substantial enough to require a second Public Comment on our recommendations (noting that this had been a working assumption for several meetings).
Our approved report can be found here
Our Public Comment response sheet is found here.
A redline document from the Plenary version we approved in May is attached, for those who wish to check that as we believe the changes we have made are indeed minimal.
The AC_SO_Accountability Sub Group Co- Rapporteurs will be pleased to answer any questions and discuss any comments from the CCWG on the CCWG list before and of course at the upcoming CCWG Meeting on September 27th, where we would also appreciate the opportunity to introduce our documentation.
Also, we should like to draw your attention again to a caveat point we have previously made to the CCWG regarding our recommendations of now 29 Good Practices. i.e. "AC/SO/Groups are only expected to implement these Good Practices to the extent that these practices are applicable and an improvement over present practices, in the view of AC/SO/Group participants. Again, we are not recommending that implementation of these practices be required by AC/SO/Groups."
Kindest regards,
AC_SO_Accountability Sub Group Co-Rapporteurs, Cheryl Langdon-Orr Steve del Bianco Farzaneh Badii
