[CCWG-ACCT] Board consideration and interaction with CCWG Accountability

[Mathieu Weill]

Dear Colleagues,

As requested in the chat during the meeting, here is the extract from 
our Charter, which is actually simply quoting the Board resolution of 
2014-10-16 regarding Board consideration and interaction with our group.

Full Charter is available here : 
https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Charter

Extract from Section V : Rules of Engagement, decision making 
methodologies.

[...]

/Resolved (2014.10.16.17), the Board commits to following the following 
principles when considering the Cross Community Working Group 
Recommendations on Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance:/

 1. /These principles apply to consensus-based recommendations from the
    Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability and
    Governance.///
 2. /If the Board believes it is not in the global public interest to
    implement a recommendation from the Cross Community Working Group on
    Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance (CCWG Recommendation),
    it must initiate a dialogue with the CCWG. A determination that it
    is not in the global public interest to implement a CCWG
    Recommendation requires a 2/3 majority of the Board.///
 3. /The Board must provide detailed rationale to accompany the
    initiation of dialogue. The Board shall agree with the CCWG the
    method (e.g., by teleconference, email or otherwise) by which the
    dialogue will occur. The discussions shall be held in good faith and
    in a timely and efficient manner, to find a mutually acceptable
    solution.///
 4. /The CCWG will have an opportunity to address the Board's concerns
    and report back to the Board on further deliberations regarding the
    Board's concerns. The CCWG shall discuss the Board's concerns within
    30 days of the Board's initiation of the dialogue.///
 5. /If a recommendation is modified through the CCWG, it is returned
    back to the Board for further consideration. The CCWG is to provide
    detailed rationale on how the modification addresses the concerns
    raised by the Board.///
 6. /If, after modification, the Board still believes the CCWG
    Recommendation is not in the global public interest to implement the
    CCWG Recommendation, the Board may send the item back to the CCWG
    for further consideration, again requiring a 2/3 vote of the Board
    for that action. Detailed rationale for the Board's action is again
    required. In the event the Board determines not to accept a
    modification, then the Board shall not be entitled to set a solution
    on the issue addressed by the recommendation until such time as CCWG
    and the Board reach agreement./

Before submitting a modified recommendation to the ICANN Board of 
Directors, as envisioned under 5. of the Board resolution, the 
CCWG-Accountability will submit a Draft Supplemental Board Report to the 
chartering organizations [...]


best,
