>> Adoption of a Charter for a Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing

>> Whereas,

>>
>> 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

>>        (see for examplehttps://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

>>
>> ?        Where appropriate, solicit and communicate the views and

>> 3. The GNSO will collaborate with the other SOs and ACs to issue a call
