<br>
I have a small clarification that we might not have reflected accurately in the announcement below: if you are already part of the CCWG-Accountability (for Work Stream 1), then you do not need to sign up again. This call for volunteers is directed at new folks who have not engaged with the CCWG-Accountability before.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

> WHAT IS THE CCWG-ACCOUNTABILITY?<br>
><br>
>In December 2014, the Cross Community Working Group on<br>
>Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) was formed to<br>
>deliver proposals that would enhance ICANN's accountability towards all<br>
>stakeholders.<br>
><br>
>The work of the CCWG-Accountability is carried out in two Work Streams:<br>
><br>
> * Work Stream 1: focused on mechanisms enhancing ICANN accountability<br>
> that must be in place or committed to within the time frame of<br>
> the IANA Stewardship Transition;<br>
> * Work Stream 2: focused on addressing accountability topics for which<br>
> a timeline for developing solutions and full implementation may<br>
> extend beyond the IANA Stewardship Transition.<br>
><br>
><br>
> WHAT IS THE CCWG-ACCOUNTABILITY FOCUSED ON?<br>
><br>
>With the completion of the Work Stream 1 report and delivery to NTIA in<br>

> contribute to mailing list conversations as well as meetings. Each<br>
> potential participate will be required to provide a Statement of<br>
> Interest (SOI) before being designated as an individual participant<br>
> and have posting rights to the mailing list. It is anticipated that<br>
> participants will provide essential input to the process.<br>
> * *Mailing list observers* – for those who are only interested in<br>
> monitoring the exchanges of the CCWG-Accountability. Observers are<br>
> offered read-only access to the mailing list. At any point in time,<br>
> a mailing list observer can join the CCWG as a participant simply by<br>
> informing ICANN staff and submitting a SOI.<br>
><br>
>The CCWG-Accountability operates in a fully open and transparent manner,<br>
>and all mailing list exchanges are publicly archived<br>
