[CCWG-ACCT] are we covered on oversight on board decisions wrt IFR recommendations

[Grace Abuhamad]

Hi Robin, 

The CWG-Stewardship chairs reviewed the requirements, as did our independent
legal counsel, and both confirmed that the CCWG-Accountability had met their
requirements. My understanding is that this is reflected in the ³Fulfillment
of Requirements² section, and reflected in the draft through the IRP and
Community Mechanism. The text from the "Fulfillment of Requirements² section
is as follows: 

As requested by the CWG-Stewardship, the community can use the Independent
Review process (see Section 4) to challenge a decision by the Board not to
implement a recommendation coming out of an IANA Function Review.

Hope this helps, 
Grace

Subject:  [CCWG-ACCT] are we covered on oversight on board decisions wrt IFR
recommendations

It has been suggested that our proposal is missing an important element (see
below):

But what is missing from the CCWG draft (and specifically the community
powers section) is the empowerment of the community to exercise oversight of
ICANN board decisions with respect to recommendations resulting from an IFR,
as identified below.
 
>From the transition proposal (pg 40), released by the ICG today [1]:
> 
> 2. Community Empowerment Mechanisms. The empowerment of the multistakeholder

Is this right?  Is this covered in our report?  I don't see it, but in the
flurry of documents may not be looking at the right ones.

Thanks,
Robin
