[council] RE: Letter and updated response to the CCWG-Accountability

["Drazek, Keith" <kdrazek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Upon further review of the position summary table, the RySG request one edit, 
as follows:

Footnote 2 (Rec #11) does not seem to accurately and completely capture the 
RySG position.  That footnote states that “the Registries SG and ISPCP 
Constituency did not object expressly but highlighted significant concerns 
about the implications of such a change.”  However, the RySG comments set out 
three conditions that, if not met, “the RySG would be unlikely to support a 
proposal wherein consideration of GAC advice would require a 2/3 for 
rejection.”  While the footnote is not inaccurate, it’s not complete.

The RySG suggests the following revision to footnote 2:

“IPC, NCSG and the Registrars SG expressly objected to changing and specifying 
the threshold for Board action; the Registries SG and ISPCP Constituency did 
not object expressly but highlighted significant concerns about the 
implications of such a change.  The Registries SG stated it was unlikely to 
support the 2/3 threshold for Board action unless three additional requirements 
(provision of a rationale, consistency with ICANN bylaws and within GAC scope, 
and defined consensus) applied to such GAC Advice.  While BC and NPOC supported 
the change, both nevertheless also noted concerns over the implications, with 
the BC’s support expressly conditioned upon certain qualifications being made 
to the proposal.”

Thank you!

Regards,
Keith

Subject: [council] Letter and updated response to the CCWG-Accountability

Dear Councilors,

Please find attached a draft letter and attachment, intended to be sent by 
James, Donna and Heather on behalf of the Council to the CCWG-Accountability. 
As agreed on the Council call of 14 January, a small group of Councilors 
(James, Paul and Ed) worked with staff to draft a letter with an updated 
Council response to each of the recommendations in the CCWG-Accountability’s 
Third Draft Proposal.

The updated response (attached in both redlined and clean format) is an attempt 
to capture all the suggestions and points of agreement that were reached during 
the 14 January call. Thanks to James, Ed and Paul, it would seem that the most 
difficult and contentious of the issues brought up on that call may be 
addressed by the new language that you will see in the document.

We hope that this updated response and the proposed letter achieves the 
Council’s objectives and captures its views as expressed in the discussions to 
date.

Thanks and cheers
Mary
