· Alan Greenberg: ALAC response is coming, in about 2 weeks (estimated by end of January). ALAC was busy with the review.
· CW: I would like to get a heads up e-mail when a new response is received.
· Cheryl: we will, probably by a message to the full list
· Steve: do we know if RSSAC plans to provide a response? if not, could we reach out to them?
· Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): we will make a follow-up with RSSAC, viable CCWG Co-Chairs (Thomas)

* Any Sub Team Activities since our last call
· sub team activities ducktale into agenda item 3
3. Discussion, current DRAFT documentations readings and review
a) Data Capture documentation of input materials from SOAC's
· Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina: Cherly, as I have expressed I volunteer to be part of the drafting team.
· Steve DelBianco: Our task in Track 1 is to "review and develop recommendations" on SOAC Accountability, per this Bylaw: Section 27.1. WORK STREAM 2, (b) The CCWG-Accountability recommended in its Supplemental Final Proposal on Work Stream 1 Recommendations to the Board, dated 23 February 2016 (“CCWG-Accountability Final Report”) that the below matters be reviewed and developed following the adoption date of these Bylaws (“Work Stream 2 Matters”), in each case, to the extent set forth in the CCWG-Accountability Final Report:(iii) Supporting Organization and Advisory Committee accountability, including but not limited to improved processes for accountability, transparency, and participation that are helpful to prevent capture;
· Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): huge thanks to all who have contributed to this work so far and especially Farzaneh
· Steve: We have quite a bit of work to do, have to read all the responses in detail, and we need to organize our work
· Who had stepped forward to help? Steve, Olga. We don't have the people to do the work on this call.
· Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina: There were other volunteers, maybe they are not in the call now
· Michael Abejuela (ASO): I am happy to assist in this work
· CW: I volunteered for something last year, but I have a holiday blank as to what exactly I was supposed to do.
· Can staff go back to previous notes to see who else had volunteered?
· Steve: any comments from the group on the work that was done by the drafting team so far?
· Alan: we shouldn't get too much in the details in our recommendations, the intent is more important than the implementation.
· Michael Abejuela (ASO): We should be careful on taking the stance of "recommending" vs. stating an observation and stating a principle of
accountability for which we strive. Agree with Alan that it should not be a mandate particularly in implementation of a particular principle.
· Steve: We should be explicit in what was reported. For example, with regards to decision appeal mechanisms, we could 1) identify which SO/AC have
any, and which don’t, 2) from there we could make the recommendation that those who don’t have one consider implementing one.
· Cheryl: we need to carefully weigh in if our recommendations are implementable.
· Constituency groups each have a charter. We can get inputs from these charters.
· avri doria: the NCSG chater is at: <https://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/ncsg-charter-05may11-en.pdf>[gnso.icann.org]
· Sebastien (ALAC): http://www.npoc.org/media/files/NPOC_Charter_Approved_06-24-2011.pdf[npoc.org]

accountability, transparency, and participation that are helpful to prevent capture.

conclusion in the doc on page 4
- track 3. Assess whether the Independent Review Process (IRP) should be applied to SO & AC activities.------ The preliminary conclusion in the doc on page 5 -----> Discussion regarding this outcome and CCWG Plenary.
· Cheryl: Only 7 weeks left before Copenhagen. We would like to have a document ready in advance to send to the CCWG, in order to receive guidance from the plenary
during the F2F meeting. Overall reporting document needs to continue to be updated and worked on, not only during these calls but also in between.
· CW: since I shall leave the call early, please note lthat under Track 2 (MART) and Track 3 (IRP), my point of view is reflected in the draft report, so I would not support
substantive amendment.
