Subject: High Level Statements
Dear Lise and Jonathan,
The Cross Community Working Group on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship) and the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) are regularly liaising and co-ordinating their work as both work areas are interdependent and interlinked. The co-chairs of both groups have agreed that it would be valuable for the CWG-Stewardship to provide the CCWG-Accountability with a list of issues it has identified during its deliberations where the work of both group overlaps. Subsequently, the following items from the proposal published on Dec. 1st, 2014 have been identified:
...
Additionally, the CCWG-Accountability has been advised that "ICANN-only“ proposals currently considered might have significant input on the Accountability mechanisms required.
Finally, the CWG-Stewardship pointed out that feedback would ideally be received early enough to be taken into account when finalizing the proposal to be submitted to the ICG.
While the CCWG-Accountability appreciates the sense of urgency and works as expeditiously as possible on the tasks it has been chartered with, it is not feasible to publish a work results of the group in January.
Nonetheless, the CCWG-Accountability has chosen to publish high level statements as a preliminary assessment of the situation.
However, the CCWG-Accountability is cognizant that any preliminary assessment might be subject to change because of
- changes made to the proposal published by the CWG-Sterwardship on Dec.1st, 2014
- other proposals and
- changes due to other external and internal factors, such as evolving deliberations of our group.
The below high level statements might be valuable to all groups or individuals working on proposals to be submitted to the ICG, which is why they are not only a response to the CWG-Stewardship, but published as a status update by the CCWG-Accountability.
...
- Any proposal will address the concern on to whom should ICANN be held accountable.
- Any proposal will address the concern on what should ICANN be held accountable for.
- Any proposal will address the concern on how ICANN or its Board of Directors should be held accountable.
...
We hope this broad but clear roadmap helps the CWG complement their work and that we continue to work on a coordinated fashion.
Please note that these statements reflect the current status of deliberations of the CCWG-Accountability and might be subject to change for the reasons mentioned above and further input from the community.
