Re: [council] GNSO Council action items 13 November 2014

[Marika Konings <marika.konings@xxxxxxxxx>]

In relation to the Enhancing ICANN Accountability CCWG and the action item that 
'Each GNSO Stakeholder Group should identify one member for the CWG by 20 
November 2014 taking into account the charter requirement’, I thought it might 
be helpful to refer to the charter requirements which state that:

Best efforts should be made to ensure that individual members:

  *   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 
CCWG-Accountability 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.

Best regards,

Marika
