SOAC Accountability group in CCWG WS2 - report after plenary 2nd reading, on 29-Mar-2017
Per the decision reached on today’s plenary call, here is the SOAC Accountability Report as approved for Public Comment. The 2 minor edits to the previous draft are: remove the word “ranks” on page 7. remove the word “mutual” on page 32. The call for Public Comment could indicate this explanation and seek community input: A minority of CCWG members prefer that the optional annual Accountability Roundtable discussion described on page 32 be expanded to include “mutual” accountability, where each SO/AC is held accountable to the other SO/ACs.

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. We have also attached a redline from version 1.0 to version 1.1 Our group looks forward to your questions and comments during 2nd reading on 29-Mar. Regards, Steve DelBianco, Cheryl Langdon-Orr, and Farzaneh Badii Co-Rapporteurs, SOAC Accountability Group, CCWG WS2
