I think we need to sharpen up the workflow between the Legal Committee and ICANN Legal....

Dear Sam and John,

I have not received any reaction to this email or I might have missed it.

I need to update the plenary on this today so any guidance will be much appreciated.


Best regards,

Dear Samantha and John,

As part of the CCWG-Legal Committee works, we hereby request for an expedited opinion from CCWG-Accountability WS2:

Background:

The CCWG-Accountability WS2 Ombusman sub-group is working on recommending possible changes to the Office of the Ombudsman as required in the final report for WS1 of the CCWG-Accountability.

Given the focus of this sub-group the group working on implementing ATRT2 recommendations, which includes a requirement for an external review of the office of the Ombudsman, has proposed that the CCWG-Accountability WS2 Ombudsman sub-group take on the responsibility for this evaluation which it has accepted to do [with the agreement of the ccwg-WS2 plenary].

The current ICANN Ombudsman Herb Waye and his predecessor are both members of the Ombudsman sub-group drafting team.

Question:

Is the current ICANN Ombusman [and his predecessor] placing himself in a conflict of interest by participating in the sub-group which will have responsibility for the external review of the Office of the Ombudsman? If so what should the Ombudsman do to avoid such a conflict (completely recuse himself from all aspects or only from making or approving recommendations)?

As the answers to these questions will enable to continue the work of the Ombuds Sub-group on different topics, we would kindly ask to have an answer to them as soon as possible.

Kind regards,


Leon Sanchez
CCWG-Accountability Co-Chair.
Saludos,



León
