[CCWG-ACCT] [Ws2-hr] Letter from the Board on Human Rights

I'm fairly confident that this is what the letter is saying:

The Board also expresses its support for the additional efforts *[i.e., the
considerations document]* to complete a review of the items noted in WS1
Annex 12 to ensure they have been fully covered in the draft FOI, and to
further inform the development of additional implementation recommendations
to accompany the FOI *[someone is supposed to develop additional
implementation recommendations]*.

As part of those implementation recommendations, the Board is asking ICANN
organization *[i.e., staff]* to conduct an impact assessment to understand
how the implementation of the recommendations would impact the
organization. *[It appears that the staff is developing these
implementation recommendations.]* The Board encourages the CCWG *[i.e.,
this Subgroup, primarily] *to provide examples of how the FoI is to be
implemented and the areas of work that the FoI is expected to impact to
assist *[the staff] *with this work. This will be an important point of
information for the whole of the ICANN community *[i.e, the CCWG and the
rest of the community via public comments and SO/AC approvals]* in their
deliberations of the final recommendations.

In other words:


   - The Board knows that we're working on the Considerations document.
   - The Considerations document will be used to develop implementation
   recommendations to accompany the FoI
   - Staff is developing these implementation recommendations.
      - As part of that work, Staff is doing an impact assessment.
   - CCWG (really, *this subgroup*) needs to create *examples* of (1) how
   the FoI is to be implemented and (2) the areas of work that the FoI is
   expected to impact.
   - CCWG needs to give those examples to the staff,
      - Staff will use these example in doing the impact assessment.
   - CCWG also needs to make these examples available to the entire ICANN
   community.
   - Public comments and SO/ACs should take these examples, as well as the
      implementation recommendations (including the impact assessment) into
      account when deciding whether to approve the final recommendations.
   - Based on Niels' followup, at this point, rather than working on
   examples now, we can wait until we hear from the Board (and others) in the
   public comment on the initial recommendations.

Does that make sense?

(With regard to "examples," it should not be forgotten that the CCWG
Charter says "In order to facilitate evaluation and adoption of its
proposals, the CCWG-Accountability is expected to provide a detailed
description on how its proposals would provide an adequate level of
resistance to contingencies (“stress tests”), *within the scope of each
Work Stream*." (emphasis added))
