<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">The CCWG-Accountability co-chairs and ICANN staff have released the 3rd draft report for public comment (see below) until 21 December 2015, which is shorter than public comment periods are supposed to be (30 days). And since translations won’t be made available until 9 days before public comment closes on this important report, it will be very difficult for non-English speakers to provide input on the recommendations.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Also, despite the publication of the report, ICANN still has not included my dissenting opinion in the report’s Appendix A, although it was sent on 29 November and has been a matter of record since 2 November. However, Circle ID published it:</div><div class=""> <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20151201_supporting_orgs_marginalized_in_icann_accountability_proposal/" class="">http://www.circleid.com/posts/20151201_supporting_orgs_marginalized_in_icann_accountability_proposal/</a><br class=""><div><br class=""></div><div>There are, however, a number of very solid improvements proposed in the recommendations, like improvements to the IRP and Reconsideration Request processes. However, there was a lot being stuffed into it at the last minute and so it is important that members go over the report (and appendices) with a fine tooth comb and find issues to raise in public comment (like David Post has already found on the mission issue). Public comment will be open until 21 December. NCSG will schedule a webinar in the coming days to discuss the report in detail. ICANN has scheduled two webinars for 2 December at different times to accommodate different geographic regions.
