Another note: the issue of greater representation for the
Constituencies of the CwG has come up again in the council. I
pointed out that in this case there were neither discussions nor
history of an ad-hoc group having had greater CSG representation
and thus no notion of it being grandmothered in.<br>
<br>
This charter is up for a vote next week. NCSG should start
selecting its member for the group.* The group will be as open
to particIpation as in cwg-stewardship, except that this charter
calls them participants. Each CWG learns from the experiences
of the previous. (In the ordering and learning, CWG-Internet
came before CWG-Stewarship, it is just that is languished on the
GNSO Council schedule a very long time, so it was voted on
later.)<br>

* the PC is currently trying to get its organizational act
together, with our past-Chair no longer being a member of the
PC, and not having elected a new one yet. According to our
charter, as I read it, it will need to choose a member from
among those who put their names forward or have their names put
forward. So those who want to put the intensive amount of work
for the next year or more that may be required to be the member
of this CWG, should consider the task.<br>

>> Proposed Charter for Enhancing ICANN Accountability
Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) Submitted for Consideration<br>
>><br>
>> On 3 November 2014, the Drafting Team that was formed
by the ICANN community to develop a charter for the Enhancing
ICANN Accountability Cross Community Working Group (CCWG)
distributed a charter for adoption by chartering organizations.
The charter includes, among other things, a problem statement,
goals & objectives, scope, and proposed areas for work. The
CCWG is expected to organize its activities in two Work Streams,
consistent with the Revised Enhancing ICANN Accountability
Process:<br>
>><br>
>>> Work Stream 1: focused on mechanisms enhancing
ICANN accountability that must be in place or committed to
within the time frame of the IANA Stewardship Transition; and<br>
>>> Work Stream 2: focused on addressing accountability
topics for which a timeline for developing solutions and full
implementation may extend beyond the IANA Stewardship
Transition.<br>
>>><br>
>> Next Steps<br>
>> Each ICANN Supporting Organization (SO) and Advisory
Committee (AC) is expected to consider the proposed charter
during its upcoming November meeting(s). Following the adoption
of the charter, chartering organizations are expected to
identify their representative members to serve on the CCWG (each
chartering organization will appoint a minimum of 2 and a
maximum of 5 members to the CCWG). In addition, a call for
volunteers to join the CCWG will be launched, so that anyone
interested in this effort may join and participate. The CCWG is
expected to commence its deliberations in late November or early
December.<br>
>><br>
>> All members of the group formerly known as the "Cross
Community Group" will be added to the CCWG as participants,
unless some are appointed by chartering organizations to serve
as members or decide not to join this effort.<br>
>><br>
>> Drafting Team Background<br>
>> Considering the short timeframe ahead and the relation
of part of the Accountability work to the IANAStewardship
Transition process, the Drafting Team worked on an expedited
basis to develop the charter. The publication date was
identified to align with the November meetings of ICANN's SOs
and ACs, to allow for the question of CCWG charter adoption to
be discussed. For details of each of the Drafting Team's
meetings, including interim draft versions of the charter,
please see here.<br>
>><br>
>> The Drafting Team was formed following the ICANN51
meeting and includes members appointed by the At-Large Advisory
Committee (ALAC), Address Supporting Organization (ASO), Country
Code Supporting Organization (ccNSO), Governmental Advisory
Committee (GAC) and Generic Names Supporting Organization
(GNSO).1 In addition, one representative from outside the ICANN
SO/ACstructure joined the Drafting Team to ensure that the
charter defined an inclusive process for the broader community.

>> Additional Information<br>
>> The National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) has requested that ICANN"convene a
multistakeholder process to develop a plan to transition the
U.S. government stewardship role" with regard to the IANA
Functions and related root zone management. In making its
announcement, the NTIA specified that the transition proposal
must have broad community support and meet the following
principles:<br>
>><br>
>> Support and enhance the multistakeholder model<br>
>> Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the
Internet DNS<br>
>> Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers
and partners of the IANA services<br>
>> Maintain the openness of the Internet.<br>
>> NTIA also specified that it would not accept a proposal
that replaces the NTIA role with a government-led or an
intergovernmental organization solution.<br>
>><br>
>> During discussions around the transition process, the
community raised the broader topic of the impact of the change
on ICANN's accountability. The Enhancing ICANN Accountability
process was finalized and posted on 10 October 2014, and can be
found here. The scope of the Enhancing ICANNAccountability
process is defined as ensuring that ICANN remains accountable in
the absence of its historical contractual relationship with the
U.S. Government and the perceived backstop with regard toICANN's
organization-wide accountability provided by that role, such as
the renewal process of theIANA functions contract. It calls for
an examination, from an organizational perspective, of how
ICANN's broader accountability mechanisms should be strengthened
to address the absence of its historical contractual
relationship with the U.S. Government, including looking at
strengthening existing accountability mechanisms (e.g., the
ICANN Bylaws and the Affirmation of Commitments).<br>
