[Area 4] Remarks by Larry Strickling and Fadi Chehade through ICANN51

[Grace Abuhamad]

Dear all, 

Attached is a document I pulled together for the CCWG Drafting Team in
October. It's a compilation of the official remarks/speeches made by Larry
Strickling and Fadi Chehade at different events from August through October.
The Drafting Team used this document to help inform its work in developing
the Charter for the CCWG.

The Chairs thought it may be useful to share with this WA4 group so that you
could perhaps map the contingencies you are developing to the contingencies
they list in their remarks.

A specific example Larry Strickling gave at ICANN51 was a mechanism of Board
recall. This comment was in response to a question so it was not included in
the original document (attached).

LARRY STRICKLING: SO I -- SO FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE NOTED IN PRIOR PUBLIC
STATEMENTS THAT THE ABSENCE OF A BOARD RECALL MECHANISM FOR THE COMMUNITY,
THAT WOULD SEEM TO ME TO BE THE KIND OF QUESTION THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE
WITHIN THE MORE LIMITED INITIAL SCOPE OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY --

NOW, THAT'S A BIG ISSUE. IT'S NOT A TINY ISSUE WHATSOEVER. BUT IT DOES SEEM
TO ME THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF ISSUES PEOPLE WILL HAVE CONCERN ABOUT WHEN
THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF -- WHAT PREVENTS THIS
ORGANIZATION FROM SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL WHEN THE U.S. CONTRACT ISN'T THERE
ANY LONGER.

NOBODY EXPECTS IT TO HAPPEN, BUT I THINK ALL OF US, TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO
THIS TRANSITION, NEED TO THINK THROUGH THOSE POSSIBILITIES AND UNDERSTAND
WHAT MECHANISMS EXIST TODAY OR NEED TO BE PUT INTO PLACE TO PREVENT BAD
THINGS LIKE THAT FROM HAPPENING.

Best, 
Grace
