[CCWG-Accountability] Regarding Board treatment of the output of the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability

[Kavouss Arasteh]

Dear All,
I do not wish to repeat what I indicated in my previous message.
Accountability is much beyound to the process of being considered as a
recommendation which has optional character
Moreover, there is no criteria ,univerally agreed or agreed by the entire
multistakeholder, based on which ICANN agree or disagree with the totality
or part of the recommendation in question.
In addition Board memebrs are designated ( respectful) individuals thus not
elected by the multistakeholders or their legal representatiove thus they
can not act on behalf of that community since such an authority was not
derlegated to the Board Our distinguished Board Liaison is kindly requested
not to push CCWG to agree with the Board's views as mentioned in the
Resolution .
It is not CCWG output it is only board's unilateral decision .
Regards
Kavouss i
