Wolf:
--> To formulate 3 to 5 related sub-questions on your topic that should be part of the ATLAS II discussions during these breakout sessions. These sub-questions will be also included in our Workspace for the community to prepare and follow up on this.
4. ICANN Transparency and Accountability
Hong Xue:
(1) Are the current ICANN appeal mechanisms (IRP and reconsideration process) working?
This seems a bit weak.
Of course they aren't working.
A better question might be:
What sort of appeals mechanisms does ICANN need?
(2) What is your proposal for future reform?
Having asked the question already, might want to ask instead:
2) Is the soft bottom-up oversight offered by the AOC adequate or does ICANN need some other form of oversight, especially in this time of NTIA transtion?
--> To write a short abstract or intro on your subject (one para. or 10 lines max.) what is needed for prior orientation of the ATLAS II participants and a next survey where participants can choose their preferred theme and session for London (for logistical planning and room allocations).
4. ICANN Transparency and Accountability
Hong Xue: ATRT Final Recommendations #9 generally reflects the community feed backs and contains the improvements. Rec.9.2 is particularly important for accountability of decision-making process and reform of appeal mechanism. It is insightful to form a SCG to examine the options to restructure the current IRP and reconsideration process. But it is still unclear whether the review/restructure will cover the other "appeal" mechanisms in various gTLDs and ccTLDs processes, such as the objection procedures in the new gTLD program and apply for review procedure in IDN ccTLD program. It is especially unclear whether IRP and reconsideration process will be the "final" appeal channel available to review any other appeal decisions, either from internal bodies or outside service providers.
As we have not seen what the Board intends to do about recommendation 9.2 it is good to be skeptical. But if indeed they do honor the suggestion for a community wide discussion of ICANN accountability and appeals, then At-large needs a strategy for contributing to that. For accountability to be real, it needs to extend to all of the ALS so that they can look at it from the diversity of global user perspectives that only At-Large can bring to ICANN.
