<div dir="ltr">Thanks Jeff for sharing this. I think the practical work going on in the Working Parties is dealing with many broader items than just the ICANN Board.<div><br></div><div>Your example posits an interesting question: is "accountability" focused on the governance level, or on operations?</div><div><br></div><div>That is, is a staff level execution failure something the community or customers has accountability tools to deal with, beyond ensuring the Board holds CE to account?</div><div><br></div><div>One way of looking at this example is that it's up to the Board to hold its Chief Executive responsible for delivering secure services and that that's where it lies. If the Board fails to do so, some of the mechanisms under debate would help deal with that. Review and redress options would also provide some relief to those damaged.</div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>Jordan</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 3 March 2015 at 07:01, Jeff Neuman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jeff.neuman@comlaude.com" target="_blank">jeff.neuman@comlaude.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Removing Board Directors, while taking up most of the discussion for the last few weeks does not address most of the accountability issues we have with ICANN.
