Re: [council] motion re charter for the Accountability CWG
Dear Heather, I¹ll let Mary answer your specific question regarding the CWG on Framework of Operating Principles, but in relation to the creation to the Accountability CWG which triggered the original question, the proposal is that similar to what was done in the case of the IANA Stewardship Transition CWG, one member is appointed by the Council to serve as the co-chair for the CWG while the other 4 members are chosen by each Stakeholder Group (one per SG). It is up to each SG to determine the process by which this selection takes place, taking into account the requirements of the charter, namely: * Have sufficient expertise to participate in the applicable subject matter (see for example https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/enhancing-accountability-faqs-2014-08- 22-en#12 for areas identified for expertise); * Commit to actively participate in the activities of the CWG on an ongoing and long-term basis; and * Where appropriate, solicit and communicate the views and concerns of individuals in the organization that appoints them. The outcome of this selection process is communicated directly to the staff supporting the CCWG, there is no intermediate vote / motion by the Council required. Although the charter doesn¹t spell this out, my understanding is that if at any point any of the members of the CCWG need to be replaced, for whatever reason, the SG that appointed the member that needs replacement would be expected to select such a replacement, apart from the co-chair which would need reappointment by the GNSO Council. It is worth emphasising that in addition to members, which serve a specific role in ensuring that the GNSO Council / SG stays up to date, questions / input are channelled back accordingly and participate in consensus calls should any be necessary, anyone can join this effort as a participant and contribute in the same way as members do. I hopes this clarifies some aspects of your question.

For example, are all Members now appointed to the CWG on Framework of Operating Principles for Future CWGs? I understood that members had not all been appointed, and if that¹s correct, what is the process for appointing new members? Council motion? Other? Apologies for perhaps asking a dumb question while I am new to GNSO procedures.
