<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">That is a very important point, Keith, the critical nature of f which is being raised at this very moment by GDD staff’s decision to make the PDDRP and URS
starting points for legacy gTLD renewal agreements, as reflected in the proposed .Travel, .Pro and .Cat renewal agreements.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">As I understand it Board review of the final, post-comment RAs is optional. At the time these “implementation details” of the new gTLD program were created
it was well understood that their application to legacy gTLDs could occur only after their performance and the issues they raised had been extensively analyzed (which has yet to happen – the policy staff Issues Report won’t be delivered until September) and
then only through a PDP.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">This staff action is, in my opinion, an attempt to create de facto Consensus Policy in violation of the Bylaws. Let’s see what happens once the comment period
ends and after this is raised in BA. But, whatever the outcome, it illustrates the need for “new mechanisms or triggers where the community could compel a review of Staff by the Board”. Accountability mechanisms that focus solely on Board action or inaction
would leave staff free to make ad hoc policy decisions via contract changes absent any consultation with, much less Bylaws-required deference to, the GNSO and broader ICANN community of stakeholders.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">And Giovanni, in my oral testimony before the House Judiciary Committee last month I stated:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">
</span><i><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">While enhanced ICANN accountability measures are overdue they will operate best only if ICANN’s Board and senior staff embrace a culture of accountability that assumes responsibility for the fallout of
ICANN decisions and encompasses early consultation with the multistakeholder community that provides organizational legitimacy.
<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">So I am in complete agreement with your view that “accountability is something that must be part of a company’s attitude and working methodology, it must be
in the DNA of those who are expected to serve any community”. Unfortunately, we are some considerable distance from that within ICANN at the present time and the final accountability mechanisms must take that into account.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the ICANN management and staff accountable. We are simply trying to ensure the Board is accountable to the community. We have no desire to create a new structure that interferes in the day-to-day operations of ICANN. However, there may be new mechanisms or
triggers where the community could compel a review of Staff by the Board and we should consider those.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My two cents on the last point of Larry (The proposal is primarily focused on the accountability of the ICANN Board. Has the Working Group also considered if there need to be accountability improvements that would apply to ICANN management
and staff or to the various ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees?) . We, the community, can envisage million of sticks and procedures to “punish” - “react” - “remedy" to actions of people who are not doing their job well. However, accountability
is something that must be part of a company’s attitude and working methodology, it must be in the DNA of those who are expected to serve any community. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt">In addition to the ICG transition proposal, the final submission to NTIA must include a plan to enhance ICANN’s accountability. Given that the draft proposal of the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability
will be a major focus of the discussions next week in Argentina, I would like to offer the following questions for stakeholders to consider:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">* would we look to SSAC to comment on the proposals?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">* I have asked about the notion of stress-testing our proposed accountability changes (so far, the stress-testing has been focused on making sure the accountability solution can deal with ICANN's accountability to the community, and I do
think we need to discuss how to apply the same methodology to our own proposed solutions.)<o:p></o:p></p>
