Thanks all, we had a good discussion yesterday and I’d like to encourage those members who were not able to join to consider reviewing the recording or transcript and possibly joining one of the working groups for the 9 different Work Stream 2 Accountability issues.

We’ve begun a “sign-up sheet” <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dNre_xAZpv8TD8QSR7bqwJ9qppyq1WLOPsEBv2xhgbE/edit?usp=sharing> to try to keep track of which members are working on which of the 9 work stream 2 issues in CCWG-Accountability.  I hope other NCSG members will consider signing-up to one of the WS2 issue working groups that should kick-off in the next couple of weeks.  Here is a link to the NCSG Sign-up Sheet for WS2:
  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dNre_xAZpv8TD8QSR7bqwJ9qppyq1WLOPsEBv2xhgbE/edit?usp=sharing

And below is the agenda and reading list for yesterday’s NCSG meeting on WS2.  Note that NCSG has a dedicated email list <http://mailman.ipjustice.org/listinfo/ncsg-acct> for members to discuss the CCWG Accountability efforts and all members are welcome to join on that NCSG list <http://mailman.ipjustice.org/listinfo/ncsg-acct> as well as to join the main CCWG working group as an observer or participant.

Thanks,
Robin

>> I’d like to encourage all NCSG members to consider joining this discussion tomorrow about Work Stream 2 for the CCWG Accountability efforts.  Especially if you haven’t joined a working group before and are looking for a place to begin, there are a number of issues in Work Stream 2 that may be of interest and are critically important to building an accountable organization that manages the DNS.
>> 
>> Remember that Work Stream 2 is not “2nd-tier” in importance of issues related to making ICANN accountable, but rather those accountability issues that were not directly tied to the IANA transition.  So for example the issue of “increased transparency at ICANN” - one of the most important and fundamental issues for accountability had to wait until Work Stream 2 to be addressed.  Transparency is but one of nine issues in Work Stream 2, and there are 5 sub-issues within transparency - we need NCSG members to join the working group and tackle one or two of these 9 accountability issues in Work Stream 2.
>> 
>> The NCSG webinar on Work Stream 2 is tomorrow, Friday 17 June at 14:00 UTC for 2 hours.  Maryam will send out the official invite with call-in details for the webinar, and of course our Adobe Connect room for the webinar is  https://icann.adobeconnect.com/ncsg/ <https://icann.adobeconnect.com/ncsg/>
>> 
>> Below is tomorrow’s draft discussion agenda, listing the 9 Work Stream 2 accountability issues, and a reading list to prepare for the meeting and get up to speed on Work Stream 2.  Work Stream is supposed to “kick off” in Helsinki, so it is important that we discuss the issues now, and bring in many new participants into the NCSG accountability efforts now.  So I hope you will consider participating in the meeting and the NCSG accountability efforts going forward.  Thank you!!
