> From:     Glen de Saint G?ry <Glen at icann.org> <Glen at icann.org>

> Dear Councillors,
>
> Ahead of the official Council minutes, the following resolution was passed
> at the GNSO Council meeting on 13 November 2014.
>
> Adoption of a Charter for a Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing
> ICANN Accountability
>
> Whereas,
>
> 1. 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.
>
> 2. During discussions around the transition process, the community raised
> the broader topic of the impact of the change on ICANN's accountability
> given its historical
> contractual relationship with the United States and NTIA. Accountability
> in this context is defined, according to the Netmundial multistakeholder
> statement[1], as the
> existence of mechanisms for independent checks and balances as well as for
> review and redress.
>
> 3. The concerns raised during these discussions around the transition
> process indicate that the level of trust into the existing ICANN
> accountability mechanisms does
> not yet meet some stakeholder's expectations. Considering that the NTIA
> has stressed that it was expecting community consensus regarding the
> transition, this gap
> between the current situation and stakeholder expectations may prevent the
> transition to proceed.
>
> 4. A DT was formed with participants, amongst others, from the ccNSO,
> GNSO, ASO and ALAC to develop a charter for a Cross Community Working Group
> on
> Enhancing ICANN Accountability.
>
> 5. The DT delivered the proposed charter for consideration to all the
> ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees for consideration
> (see:
> http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/enhancing-accountability-charter-03nov14-en.pdf
> )
>
> Resolved,
>
> 1. The GNSO Council approves the Charter
> (
> http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/enhancing-accountability-charter-03nov14-en.pdf)
> and appoints Thomas Rickert as the GNSO Council liaison and GNSO
> co-chair to the CWG.
>
> 2. Each GNSO Stakeholder Group will identify one member for the CWG by 20
> November taking into account the charter requirement that best efforts
> should be
> made to ensure that members:
>
> ?        Have sufficient expertise to participate in the applicable
> subject matter
>        (see for example
> https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/enhancing-accountability-faqs-2014-08-22-en#12
> for areas identified for expertise);
>
> ?        Commit to actively participate in the activities of the CWG on an
> ongoing and long-term basis; and
>
> ?        Where appropriate, solicit and communicate the views and concerns
> of individuals in the organization that appoints them.
>
> 3. The GNSO will collaborate with the other SOs and ACs to issue a call
> for participants to join the CWG, each in accordance with its own rules.
