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-guidelin... 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 * - *Describes any activities that should be started/continued/stopped* - *Recommendations* Thanks in advance for your thoughts, Jordan *-- * Jordan Carter Chief Executive *InternetNZ * +64-4-495-2118 (office) | +64-21-442-649 (mob) | Skype: jordancarter jordan@InternetNZ.net.nz | www.InternetNZ.nz *A better world through a better Internet*
