To clarify my previous point: if that not yet aligned letter is what
we can expect to get in time, than I am supporting that NCSG
supports it.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">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<o:p></o:p></p>

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#002060">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 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><o:p></o:p></p>
