Jonathan,
 
With all the motions to discuss, there was no time to devote to the subject.
 
Cheers,

  Thanks John,
  
 Informative and concise.
  
 Was there any discussion of / concern about the nature and structure of the 
plans to deal with Accountability (notwithstanding linkage with transition)?

Subject: [council] 8.21.14 ccNSO Council report
 
  All,
 The ccNSO Council call this morning was dominated, as many of our meetings 
have been, by motions. 
 Administratively, they approved a timetable for the filling of five council 
seats coming open in March '15 (including that of chair, Byron Holland) and 
another one for the election of Board Seat 11, currently held by Mike Silber.  
His term is up at the annual general meeting in Los Angeles.  It is possible 
for him to be re-elected.  And, finally, they re-appointed Juhani Juselius of 
Finland as their rep to the Nominating Committee.
 On broader matters, they adopted the charter for the cross community working 
group on IANA Stewardship Transition on Naming Related Functions (with friendly 
amendment) & will issue a call for volunteers with participation not limited to 
ccNSO members.  This is a persistent topic for the ccNSO Council, allowing 
non-member ccTLD manager to participate.  Complementary to this was the 
creation of a standing ccNSO committee on IANA Stewardship Transition and 
Accountability Coordination Committee.  The boldface is mine to highlight the 
strong link the ccNSO puts between the two.  This reflects the GNSO view, too.
 Let me know if you have questions.
 Cheers,
 Berard
