<td valign="top">Dear all,<BR><BR>Please find below the NRO EC statement of this morning's engagement session.<BR><BR>Thank you,<BR>Athina<BR><BR><BR>=========<BR><BR>Dear Colleagues,<BR><BR>We can see the intense and productive work that is being done on<BR>accountability. It seems to be moving positively, but slowly, towards<BR>some critical shared goals.<BR><BR>We agree that community empowerment is one of these goals; the ICANN<BR>community deserves to be sufficiently empowered to ensure ICANN’s<BR>accountability.<BR><BR>However this work only has meaning in the context of the IANA<BR>Stewardship Transition: that is the goal that has brought this process<BR>about; and the wider Internet community also deserves to see this work<BR>finally completed.<BR><BR>We urge community members to only seek sufficient power to achieve this,<BR>and to seek a compromise towards any of the various ways to do so.
There<BR>is not only one “correct” solution here.<BR><BR>If we do not bring this process to a conclusion, soon, inevitably other<BR>options will be explored. But those, I'm sure, will not be better options.<BR><BR>As signatories ot the Montevideo Statement of 2013, which called for<BR>“accelerating the globalisation of ICANN and IANA functions", we urge<BR>the community to take this opportunity; to come to a conclusion on<BR>accountability soon enough to allow the transition process to proceed.<BR><BR>Thank you.<BR><BR>===========<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Accountability-Cross-Community mailing list<BR><a ymailto="mailto:Accountability-Cross-Community@icann.org" href="javascript:return">Accountability-Cross-Community@icann.org</a><BR><a href="https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/accountability-cross-community" target=_blank >https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/accountability-cross-community</a><BR></td>
