Well said, I would like to echo those words. Thanks to all you
guys, you have really sacrificed to keep on top of this massive,
thankless task. Some of us had better sign up to help out on the
next round.<br>

<div>Dear Ed, Robin, and all those who have been involved
in the <span style="line-height: 1.31;">Cross Community
Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability—</span></div>
<div><span style="line-height: 1.31;"><br>
</span></div>
<div>Thank you for representing the constituency's views
so well. You do not need me to tell you how monumental
your work here has been, but your commitment, efforts,
and patience here is most certainly noted. The final
report you have linked to is overwhelmingly long but I
will commit to reading it by Marrakech. I am thankful to
Robin for writing a very clear minority statement which
identifies some problematic areas in the report, and
Milton's blog post is an extraordinarily useful
introduction that makes approaching the report a much
less daunting task. But I digress: THANK YOU again for
everything that you have done.</div>

<div>Dear NCSG Member,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The numbers are staggering; 221+ calls or
meetings, 3 public consultations, more than
13,900 email messages. This has been the Cross
Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN
Accountability. Today we have released our
final report: </div>
<div> </div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=58723827"
target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/<wbr>pages/viewpage.action?pageId=<wbr>58723827</a>.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>NCSG Member and co-founder Milton Mueller
has termed the report “The Good, The Bad and
The Ugly”. I can tell you there has been a lot
of the Ugly the past few days. I can also tell
you that your NCSG members who have fought for
you day after day after day the past fourteen
months on the CCWG were there again today, at
1 in the morning in America and 6 in the
morning in the U.K., fighting for your
interests. We didn't win today but we have won
more than our fair shares of battles in the
past and if this proposal is even half
acceptable it is largely due to hard unending
unceasing work of the finest volunteers in
ICANN: those of the Noncommercial Stakeholders
Group.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A special shout out goes to our Member on
the CCWG: Ms. Robin Gross. I don't know how
Robin did all she did. Her unfortunate time
zone meant she often had biweekly calls at 4
a.m. Yet she was always there, always awake,
always fighting for you and for me. In the
early days we didn't have many volunteers and
Robin and I were covering everything
ourselves. I remember one evening we had just
finished our seventh call that day on
something called the Legal sub-team and I
wished Robin a good night. Night? She had an
eighth call coming up on something called Work
Area 2 (not to be confused with Work Stream 2,
Work Party 2, or the many Sub-team 2's we've
all been a part of). I felt like such a
slacker. Seven calls, that was nothing. Robin
had eight.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Where are we now, you may ask, in the
process?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The final report goes to the GNSO Council
where your six Councillors (myself, Amr
Elsadr, David Cake, Stephanie Perrin, Stefania
Milan and Marilia Maciel) will by March 8th
cast votes on all twelve recommendations. As
we are the folks who represent you in this
process we need your input, we need you to
tell us what you think, we need your help. We
also understand it won't be easy. This Report
is in the hundreds of pages and it is not easy
reading. I'd like to offer to help.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you have any questions about the Final
Report please ask them here. One of our many
CCWG participants will be sure to see it and
will answer it. If not I pledge to go through
this list every 24 hours and if there is an
unanswered question about our Report here I
will either answer it or I will find someone
who can. If you'd prefer to ask me
something privately my e-mail address is <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:egmorris1@milk.toast.net"
target="_blank"><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:egmorris1@milk.toast.net">egmorris1@milk.toast.net</a></a>.
You can reach me on the Wire app using the
address <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:turkued@gmail.com"
target="_blank">turkued@gmail.com</a>. You
can Skype me at ejmorris. I want each and
every one of you to have every opportunity to
view, understand and question any aspect of
this Final Report that is of interest to you.
This is the most important change in ICANN in
over a decade. I want our members to be the
best informed of any group in this community.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let the questions and the discussion begin.
Is this the ICANN you want, going forward? If
not, why not. If so, what do you like about
the proposal. Don't understand something? Ask
it here. How do you want me to vote on each of
the twelve recommendations? I ask for your
guidance.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for considering - and thanks
for being part of the largest and most diverse
group in all of ICANN: the Noncommercial
Stakeholders Group. Thanks as well for
trusting me to represent you on the GNSO
Council: it is a distinct honour that I
cherish each and every day.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Kind Regards,</div>
<div> </div>
