Description:

Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) provides its statement on the CCWG-Accountability Work Stream 2 (WS2) draft recommendations to Improve SO/AC Accountability. It is organized by Track 1-3.

Track 1: Review and develop recommendations to improve SO and AC processes for accountability, transparency, and participation that are helpful to prevent capture. SSAC agrees it would be beneficial to determine and implement best practices which are applicable to SSAC's structure and purpose. SSAC does not believe appropriate to incorporate a review of the extent SO/AC/Groups have implemented best practices in accountability, transparency, participation, and outreach into the scope of future ATRTs.

Track 2: Evaluate the proposed "Mutual Accountability Roundtable" to assess its viability. The SSAC considers a more informal approach be adopted: exchange of views, experiences and best practices during regularly scheduled meetings between SO/AC chairs only.

Track 3:Assess whether the Independent Review Process (IRP) should be applied to SO/AC activities. The SSAC agrees, IRP should not be made applicable to activities of SO/AC/Groups.
