</div>
<div>Hi
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Further to the discussion about staff’s proposed accountability mechanism, SG/constituency chairs have been discussing a possible joint statement. As agreeing on details regarding specific concerns might take some cycles and Fadi’s asked us to move quickly
into alignment, Tony Holmes of the ISPCP has circulated this place holder for collective endorsement and rapid transmission. Would people be amenable to NCSG signing onto this for now, with more to come? Bill</div>

<div><i style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif; font-size:16px"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; color:rgb(0,32,96)">During ICANN meeting 50 the entire GNSO community came together to make a statement calling for the Board to
support community creation of an independent accountability mechanism. That action clearly indicates the importance of this issue to the community and its constituent groups. Since then we have closely followed this issue and are now considering </span></i><i style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif; font-size:16px"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; color:rgb(0,32,96)">ICANN’s
proposal for managing the accountability process. However at this stage it would be both prudent and timely to advise you that currently there is no alignment within the GNSO community on the proposed approach or process proposed by ICANN. Discussions are
on-going and it is our intention to offer a more detailed statement of our concerns as early as possible next week.</span></i></div>
