[NCSG-PC] [NCUC-DISCUSS] NCSG comments on the SO/AC Accountability recommendations

Fri May 26 16:11:14 EEST 2017

Hi Matt,

 Don't forget during WS2 Bylaw changes are fairly easy when they occur as a result of a CCWG recommendation. If we want something in the Bylaws linking SOAC accountability to the ATRT  the time to do it is now. If we want to be vague, something I agree with for the reasons you mentioned, how about proposing:

 Add to §4.6(ii) the following subsection:

 (G) assessing and improving accountability procedures of the Supporting Organisations and Advisory Committees.

 The specifics, such as the recommendations in the report, could be left to lesser mechanisms.

 I do think it is important to get some mention in the Bylaws putting SOAC accountability reviews within the remit of future ATRT's.

Hi Ed  

I had wondered about this as well.  I kind of left it vague because while I totally agree with the sentiment I am just not sure about incorporating the recommendations as a whole into the bylaws.  If they evolve/increase/decrease they will require an EC action every-time.  Could we add a line in the bylaws pointing to the recommendations in the ATRT procedures and the broader issue of the imperative of the SO/ACs working to strengthen their accountability, etc.?   Just not sure how it would be phrased.

  Hi Rafik,

 I support submission of these comments and thank those who have worked on the document.

 I would encourage the PC to consider changing the document a bit to support baking the SOAC  "best practices" into the Bylaws as an addition to §4.6(b) rather than by adding them to the lesser (in terms of required adherence) ATRT procedures documentation. SOAC accountability is an essential and needed component of the overall ICANN accountability reforms and needs to be accorded the same weight as those accountability procedures applied to other parts of the ICANN ecosphere.

 Kind Regards,

 Ed
