The CCWG-Accountability developed two work streams, of which Work Stream 1 is intended to align with the timing of the CWG-Transition work and the overall NTIA objectives and timeline. Initial proposals for Work Stream 1 were published for public comment on 4 May 2015 (closing on 3 June). As the GNSO is a chartering organization of the CCWG-Accountability, having adopted the charter in November 2014, this is an opportunity for the Council to review and discuss the CCWG’s work and to discuss what, if any, issues will need to be addressed by the GNSO or Council at this critical stage.

Item 6: UPDATE FOR COUNCIL DECISION – Cross Community Working Group on Internet Governance (10 mins)
The charter for this CWG was ratified between September 2014 and April 2015 by the ALAC, ccNSO and GNSO, having previously been an informal effort organized by the ALAC and the GNSO’s Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group. The GNSO Council does not currently have a Council liaison to the CWG. Separately, the CWG has submitted a recent request to its Chartering Organizations to confirm interpretation of the chartered role of observers/participants in its work. Here the Council will receive an update on the CWG’s progress, discuss both the liaison issue, and consider a non-objection to the CWG’s proposed interpretation of the Charter.
