<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Hello everyone, Assistant Secretary Strickling has asked that I share this with the CCWG. Best regards, Suz<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">NTIA Statement on Stress Test 18<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">November 25, 2015<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">NTIA has been closely following the discussions in the CCWG-Accountability, including the recently concluded small group on stress test 18. As has been the case throughout the work
of the CCWG, we are impressed by the time and dedication so many of you are putting into these important discussions. We thank everyone for their efforts as the group works to finalize the proposal for publication on November 30.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">NTIA has long believed that governments, like all stakeholders, have an important role to play within multistakeholder processes, including ICANN. Our position on that has not changed.
As the CCWG finalizes its proposals for enhancing ICANN's accountability, we feel we should reiterate our view, as we stated last July, that ICANN preserve and clarify the current practice of the Board in responding to advice it receives from the Governmental
Advisory Committee (GAC). Specifically, ICANN should amend its Bylaws to clarify that the Board is required to enter into a formal consultation process with the GAC only where it receives GAC advice that is consensus advice based on the current definition
within the GAC's Operating Principles, that is, advice to which no GAC member has raised a formal objection.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">We want to make clear that nothing about this proposal is intended to limit how the GAC determines what advice it submits to the Board. As the Bylaws make clear, the Board is obligated
to duly take all GAC advice into account. However, it is not practicable for the Board to give GAC advice special consideration unless it is consensus advice as currently defined in the GAC Operating Principles. Anything less than consensus places the Board
in the awkward, if not impossible, position of trying to choose between governments with conflicting opinions. NTIA sees any deviation from the current standard of consensus as introducing instability into the system while also inadvertently diminishing the
important role of governments. Accordingly, every time the GAC provides consensus advice that it expects to trigger the special Bylaws consideration from the Board, it must be unambiguous and consistent with the current definition in the Operating Principles.
Asking the Board to interpret any other threshold of support seems counter to the spirit of the CCWG's efforts to empower the community in a clear and consistent manner. It also undermines the work done to implement the relevant recommendations of ATRT1 to
fix what the community diagnosed as a dysfunctional Board-GAC relationship.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">We are aware that some countries are concerned that the current GAC Operating Principles could lead to a single-country veto of GAC advice to the detriment of other countries. We
too share that concern. But the right place to deal with that issue is not at the last minute in the CCWG but in a more reasoned and full discussion of this issue within the GAC. NTIA stands ready to participate in and contribute to such a discussion to
resolve that concern at the appropriate time and place.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Dear Steve<br>
As the Architect of Rec. 11 and ST18, may I request you to include the third option ( as new point 7) in the doc.<br>
With the opposition of one SO on the emerged consensus it would leave no option to me and likely to many GAC to ask for NO CHANGE to the current Bylaws and deletion of ST 18 Regards Kavouss<br>

>> a) The (Supplemental) Proposal as adopted by the CCWG-Accountability; and<br>
>><br>
>> b) The notifications of the decisions from the chartering organizations<br>
>><br>
>> c) Documentation of the process that was followed, including, but not limited to documenting the process of building consensus within the CCWG-Accountability and public consultations.<br>
>><br>
>> In the event one or more of the chartering organizations do(es) not support (parts of) the (Supplemental) Proposal(s), the Board Report shall also clearly indicate the part(s) of the (Supplemental) Final Proposal(s) which are fully supported and the parts
which not, and which of the chartering organizations dissents, to the extent this is feasible."<br>
>><br>
>> So technically there is nothing to prevent the CCWG from submitting The Proposal adopted only by 3 or 2 or 1 of the Chartering Organisations.<br>
>><br>
>> I think the only reference to the requirement for adoption by at least most if not all chartering organisations has been Larry Strickling’s various comments about expecting to receive a consensus proposal and that a proposal with ‘objections’ or ‘expressions
of concern’ would not be likely to be be deemed a consensus proposal.<br>

>> Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] Recommendation 11, 2/3 board threshold, GAC<br>
>> consensus, and finishing<br>
>><br>
>> Dear colleagues,<br>
>><br>
>> I was going to make a comment on the call today, but in the interests of time I took myself out of the queue. This note replaces what I wanted to say.<br>
>><br>
>> For those chartering organizations and individuals that wish to reject the compromise, I have a question. If the proposed compromise position on recommendation 11 is rejected, there is a good reason to suppose that at least one important part of the community
(the GAC) will reject the accountability proposal. That will conceivably scuttle the transition; and in the absence of a consensus on the accountability measures, there is no reason to suppose we'll get the additional powers that are in the current text (incuding
the Empowered Community). Is it worth it to give up those additional powers to prevent the 2/3 board threshold, given that the additional powers provide a way to foil truly bad decisions anyway?<br>
>><br>
>> As I understand things, we are in a trap. On the one hand, the GAC has produced a consensus position that the board must reject GAC advice by a supermajority. And indeed, as things are, the ICANN board has a difficult time even under the current arrangements
when it decides to reject GAC advice. Yet the GAC is currently free to rearrange its own procedures such that it could lower its own threshold for decisions. Therefore, the consensus position of the GAC represents a grave threat to the transition. The current
state of affairs is in any case not that hot; and the GAC could unilaterally make that current state of affairs worse.<br>
>><br>
>> The compromise proposal does a few things. It is true that it increases the threshold for the board to reject GAC advice. But in exchange for that, it enshrines the GAC's responsibility to the rest of the ICANN community as to how the GAC will reach decisions.
This means that, in exchange for the increased threshold -- a threshold that I think will be easy to reach regardless of the actual numbers on the board in any case that counts -- the GAC is giving up independent control over its decision-making procedures
when exercising that threshold. In that way, it is actually an improvement of GAC's covenant with the ICANN community.<br>
>><br>
>> Moreover, let us suppose that the GAC produced advice that the board decided to accept, but the rest of the community found that objectionable. In that case, the rest of the community could force the board not to take the advice _anyway_, because of the
additional accountability measures that this CCWG wants to put in place.<br>
>><br>
>> The compromise proposal is not perfect -- I too would prefer not to have the 2/3 rule -- but one does not expect complete satisfaction from a compromise. And it should be surprising to no-one that it came rather late: each side wants something pretty big,
and both appear to be dug in. This means that each will need to give something up.<br>
>> That's what deals look like. And we need a deal, and soon, because we need to move ahead with the IANA transition.<br>
