[CCWG-ACCT] Contribution on Transparency Reforms for CCWG

[Eric Brunner-Williams]

Robin, and others "of small subgroup",

Could you point to the deficiencies in the current accounting, records 
and minutes practices? Your first bullet point.

Your second bullet point contains several items. I concur with the 
recommendation that something be improved in the office of the 
Ombudsman, its staffing, its processes, and the recourse available when 
its staff and processes fail, other than laughing it off. Your item #3.

Could you share the rationals for items #1 and #2? What is the rational 
for biannual review of DIDP, and what are "best practices" in this 
context? Your item #4.

Your third bullet point #3 (and the emboldened duplicate) starts out 
non-controversially, putting domestic filings where the unfamiliar are 
likelier to find them. But then the scope of disclosure broadens beyond 
lobbying to all individuals, and all "government officials".

As a practical matter, how many members of staff do you all envision 
being allowed to interact with public employees? As the scope is not 
limited to employees, but extends to "representatives", how far do you 
all envision the duty of record and disclose to extend? If two people 
speak about addresses or protocol parameters or names, and one is an 
employee of some public agency, and the other an employee of ICANN, or a 
"representative", does that necessarily fall within the duty to record 
and disclose?

Thanks in advance,
Eric
