FINAL DRAFT VERSION TO BE VOTED UPON BY THE ALAC
The final draft version to be voted upon by the ALAC will be placed here before the vote is to begin.
The At-large Advisory Committee (ALAC) of ICANN takes this opportunity to thank ICANN for putting forward the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability Work Stream 2 (CCWG-Accountability WS2) final report for public comments.
The ALAC finds that the final report is in general consistent and addresses the requirements of section 27.1 of the ICANN Bylaws on WS2. However, we would like to note that the assurance of full consistency between all of the recommendations - which are noted in the report to be more than 100 - would depend primarily on the interpretation of the recommendations and the implementation plan. Therefore, we recommend paying close attention to the matter when developing the implementation plan and dedicating enough time to ensure that inconsistencies do not result due to misinterpretation of the recommendations.
The recommendations formulated in the various sections of this report all have merit in advancing ICANN's transparency and accountability. However, taken together, they may amount to a daunting burden on ICANN Org and its volunteer community. For this reason ALAC recommends that as the recommendations are implemented, ICANN takes an approach to minimize the impact and work associated with following these recommendations. Finally, we would like to allude that ALAC is ready to support an implementation team composed of the co-chairs and rapporteurs of the CCWG accountability.

Therefore, we recommend paying close attention to the matter when developing the implementation plan and dedicating enough time to ensure that inconsistencies do not result due to misinterpretation of the recommendations. We would also recommend removing recommendation 4.3 under the Jurisdiction section as the Jurisdiction subgroup mentions that the discussions and concerns referred to under this section are beyond the mandate of the CCWG. Therefore, we see no need to incorporate it in the final report, this being said it remains listed in the original final report of the subgroup on page 27 under the background section, Annex 4.1 of the final report put forward for comments.

The ALAC finds that the final report is in general consistent and addressing the requirements of section 27.1 of the ICANN Bylaws on WS2. However, we would like to note that the commitment or assurance of full consistency between all of the recommendations - which are noted in the report to be more than 100 - would depend primarily on the interpretation of the recommendations and the implementation plan. Therefore, we recommend paying close attention to the matter when developing the implementation plan and dedicating enough time to insure that inconsistencies do not result due to misinterpretation of the recommendations. We would also recommend removing recommendation 4.3 under the Jurisdiction section as the Jurisdiction subgroup mentions that the discussions and concerns referred to under this section are beyond the mandate of the CCWG. Therefore, we see no need to incorporate it in the final report, this being said it remains listed in the original final report of the subgroup on page 27.
