<br>
Attached is version 1.6 of the Staff Accountability report. It is being<br>
submitted for a first reading in the full WS2 meeting. This will be the<br>
group's second attempt to do so. We have, since the first failed<br>
reading, discussed the issues that came out from that reading and have<br>
made extensive changes to the recommendations and their wording.<br>
<br>
The report has received consensus from the subgroup in all aspects but<br>
one. Due to the limited number of people participating in out last<br>
meetings we felt that we could not resolve that issue without a wider<br>
conversation.<br>
<br>
Currently recommendation 4a reads:<br>
<br>
ICANN Organization should work with the community to:<br>
<br>
a.Develop and publish service level guidelines (similar to the<br>
Service Level Agreement for the IANA Numbering Services) that<br>
clearly define all services provided by ICANN to contracted<br>
parties and the service level target for each service.<br>
<br>
<br>
The recommendation in our previous attempt at a first reading in the<br>
full group had been for a service level agreements (SLA). As there had<br>
been strong reaction on SLAs because of their legal nature and the<br>
difficulty involved in negotiating such SLAs, the recommendation was<br>
changed to guidelines. In response, there was consensus in the subgroup,<br>
though not unanimity, for recommending guidelines instead of agreements.<br>
<br>
During the subgroup consensus call, there was a request that we wait<br>
until there had been time for more comment from the Contracted Parties<br>
House of the GNSO, on whose behalf the original recommendation had been<br>
made. It was argued that guidelines were an unreliable mechanism and<br>
that it would be better to develop SLAs.<br>
<br>
Because of the tight schedule and the intermittent nature of sub-team<br>
member attendance, it was recommended by others that we send the<br>
subgroup consensus document as is on to the full meeting leaving the<br>
issue of 4a open for discussion in the full meeting. An online consensus<br>
call supported this recommendation.<br>
<br>
