Attached, for your consideration, is the report of the SOAC Accountability group of Work Stream 2, revised per comments at our first reading at the 10-Mar plenary in Copenhagen. Including:
Clarify we are looking only at activities within ICANN, so we are not looking at NRO and IETF outside of ICANN.
For best practices instead of saying”should consider”, we say "should implement, to the extent these practices are applicable and an improvement…”
Suggest that future ATRTs may examine the extent to which best practices have been implemented.
Recommend an optional mutual accountability roundtable at annual general meetings, at the option of SO/AC chairs.
Add 5 examples of reasons to close a meeting to public observation
Make best practices more consistent regarding meeting notes and minutes
Add the dimension of diversity to outreach best practices.
Our group looks forward to your questions and comments during 2nd reading on 29-Mar.
