Hi all

As part of the ICANN reply to our questions on roles and responsibilities, they referenced a delegations document approved by the Board last month.

I've copied it as an attachment to this email, and the link is: 
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/delegation-of-authority-guidelines-08nov16-en.pdf

This provides substantial basis for the Document A work I am doing some low key drafting on (definition below).


Could those interested in the relationships Board <--> Staff <--> Community, have a look at the document and offer your opinions about its content? This will help as I prepare a first draft of the paper over the next few days.

By way of reminder, here is what document A is...

  • The CCWG-Accountability work with ICANN to develop a document that clearly describes the role of ICANN staff vis-à-vis the ICANN Board and the ICANN community. This document should include a general description of the powers vested in ICANN staff by the ICANN Board of Directors that need, and do not need, approval of the ICANN Board of Directors.

4-8 page document

  • Specifies roles of Staff, Board, Community

    • Staff

    • Board

    • Community

  • Specifies relationships between them

    • Staff<->Board

    • Staff<->Community

    • Board<->Community (descriptive only)

  • Describes any proposed Changes / Clarifications

Thanks in advance for your thoughts,


Jordan
