Re: [council] FW: CCWG Final report for your consideration

["James M. Bladel" <jbladel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Colleagues -

Sorry to keep posting to the list, but at least one CCWG contributor is 
reporting that the wrong version of his Minority Statement was posted.  CCWG 
Staff is working to fix. In the meantime, I recommend using the link to the 
Report and Annex A (https://community.icann.org/x/8w2AAw) rather than the 
attachment to my previous message.

Thanks-

J.

Sending on behalf of the CCWG-Accountability co-Chairs

Dear all,

Per our prior communication below, please see attached the updated list of 
Minority Statements (Appendix A). On Tuesday 23 February, we had published our 
report with the minority statements delivered by the original 19 February 
deadline, but we had given our members a final opportunity to revise, retract 
or add minority statements based on our compromise reached that morning. Today, 
we are sending you a revised Appendix A. There were no new minority statements 
added, and four of the five statements were revised.

This update has been reflected on our Wiki, where the full report is available 
for download: https://community.icann.org/x/8w2AAw.

Thank you,
Grace

Subject: CCWG Final report for your consideration

Dear Chartering Organizations,

The Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability 
(CCWG-Accountability) is pleased to provide its Chartering Organizations with 
its report on Work Stream 1 recommendations. You can download the full report 
here: https://community.icann.org/x/8w2AAw.

As per the CCWG-Accountability’s Charter, we now seek your approval to submit 
this final report to the ICANN Board and ask you to consider this approval in 
accordance with your respective SO or AC rules and procedures by 9 March 2016 
to meet the overall timing requirements, which would allow the IANA Stewardship 
Transition (as a whole) to proceed.

The report is the result of extensive work by the CCWG-Accountability’s 28 
members, 175 participants and a team of highly qualified legal advisors since 
December 2014, which included over 221 calls or meetings, 3 public 
consultations and more than 13,900 email messages. It represents a carefully 
crafted balance between key requirements, specific legal advice, and 
significant compromises by all who participated and includes diligent attention 
to the input received through the Public Comment proceedings.

The final proposal has received the consensus support of the 
CCWG-Accountability with five minority statements from members recorded for 
Chartering Organization consideration (see Appendix A). Please note that we are 
publishing our report today with the minority statements delivered by the 
original 19 February deadline, but we have given our members a final 
opportunity to revise, retract or add minority statements based on our 
compromise reached this morning. We will send you a revised Appendix A on 25 
February.

As noted in the CCWG-Accountability report, the group worked to meet both NTIA 
requirements for the overall IANA Stewardship Transition (Annex 14), and the 
CWG-Stewardship dependencies for the naming community on ICANN accountability 
enhancements (Annex 13). The co-chairs of the CWG-Stewardship and the 
CCWG-Accountability have coordinated their efforts. The CWG-Stewardship will 
deliver a letter to you confirming that its dependencies have been met, thus 
allowing the IANA Stewardship Transition proposal to move forward.

We will make ourselves together with or other key contributors available to you 
before and during the ICANN 55 meeting in Marrakech to answer any questions you 
may have and explain any details of the report. For your information, further 
background documents as well as the slides, recordings and transcripts of 
recent webinars explain the details of the final proposal are available here: 
https://community.icann.org/x/ogDxAg.

Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you very much for your continued support.
