James:
As stated in my own email to the Council list, this delays release of the Final
Report until at least next Wednesday at the earliest.
If it is delivered sometime next week I think that argues even more strongly
for a February 29th call, to initiate our review as well as discuss the
feasibility of the timeline for final GNSO action by March 9th.
If it is not released until after 2/26 I think we will need to seriously
discuss the timeline.
These are my personal views as I have not yet consulted with the BC on this
unexpected development.
Best, Philip

Colleagues -
Please see below. The CCWG will not publish today, which is the document
cut-off for our Special Session on 29 FEB.
I'm open to proposals that we either (a) waive the document cut off for this
document, and proceed with the Special Session, or (b) cancel the Special
Session. I tend to favor the first approach, but will defer to the sentiment
of the group on this. Any thoughts from the Council on this?
On our call Thursday we noted that we would not want our first exposure to the
CCWG Report was in Marrakesh. Today's development makes this scenario more
likely. In response, I think we should prepare to repurpose additional
sessions (potentially Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday) in Morocco for this work.
But we will have a clearer picture next week.
Stay tuned.
Thanks-
J.

Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] A message from the Co-Chairs
Dear all,
As you are aware, we intended to publish our Final Report today (19 February
2016) for Chartering Organization consideration. We are ready to do so, except
for one issue where we would like to consider options as a full group.
There is, still, ongoing discussion on the issue of thresholds for Board
removal in Recommendation #2, which raised concerns in our report after we came
to a compromise on Board consideration of GAC Advice (Recommendation #11).
Since then, we have tried to propose compromise text that would be acceptable
by different groups (c.f. the 12 February and 17 February drafts, posted at
https://community.icann.org/x/iw2AAw).
We received comments on this issue, and in some cases, minority statements,
from members and participants in the ALAC, GAC, GNSO, and the Board. Earlier
today, ICANN Chairman, Steve Crocker, posted a note, apparently on behalf of
the Icann Board, outlining Board concerns with the latest attempt at compromise
text proposed on 17 February:
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2016-February/011056.html.
While these last minute interventions are deeply disappointing for those of us
who worked extremely hard, within the group and within their respective
communities, to build bridges and promote compromise, our main target and duty
remains to achieve a stable level of consensus, respecting the bottom-up,
multistakeholder nature of the process.
It is fortunate that the Board provided this input before we published the
report, since it enables us to assess the potential consequences of a Board
disagreement later in the process.
We believe this issue must be discussed before sending our Final Report to
Chartering Organizations. At the very least, we would like the opportunity to
discuss a way forward and process as full group on next Tuesday's
CCWG-Accountability call at 06:00 UTC. There are many options and directions
the group can take at this stage, each with different implications and
considerations, and these options should be discussed as a group.
Until the Tuesday call, let's keep open channels of communication on our
mailing list and work towards a solution. We will also reach out to the
Chartering Organizations to inform them of the change in our schedule.
As co-chairs, we renew our call upon every Member, upon every Participant, our
call upon community leaders especially in the ICANN Board, in the GNSO and in
the GAC to step away from confronting each other, to engage constructively and
recognize each other's value to the multistakeholder model. If you believe that
the multistakeholder model can deliver, now is the time to act accordingly.
Thank you,
Thomas, León, Mathieu
CCWG-Accountability Co-Chairs
