From sam at lanfranco.net Tue Mar 7 19:42:36 2017 From: sam at lanfranco.net (Sam Lanfranco) Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2017 14:42:36 -0500 Subject: Comments on Stand Alone Recommendations (page 4) Message-ID: <6e2d51dd-2b3f-89d7-c024-f2790bf077c0@lanfranco.net> I offer the following comments on the Stand Alone Recommendations (page 4) For the process to be fair and manageable as good faith conduct it is essential that ?A standard framework be developed? and that ?that the guidelines as?apply to all discussions even if not covered by?Article 20?. A standard framework is essential for a fair and manageable process, and minimizes complications that could arise on procedural grounds. Also the "scope of application" should be as wide as possible in order to avoid different standards for addressing different issues within ICANN. This would minimize complications and delays resulting in struggles over appropriate frameworks in particular cases. I would be tempted to see these as among first principles with regard to the task at hand.

Afnic is a member of CCNSO, Centr, and APTLD. Afnic welcomes the recommendations on Guidelines for standards of conduct presumed to be in good faith associated with exercising removal of individual Directors of the ICANN Board (Guidelines for Good Faith or GGF). These recommendations provide the required clarification on what constitutes Good Faith within the new Community power framework. The group should be commended for achieving this through simple, clear and effective recommendations. Afnic?s support includes support for the stand-alone recommendations. Extending the purpose of these guidelines to any discussion regarding the exercice of Community powers appears not only sensible, but also necessary. Finally, we would like to make two extra suggestions, directed to other aspects of the CCWG-Accountability Work Stream 2. First, the enhancement of SO/AC accountability may also benefit from considering how this type of Good Faith guidelines may be included in a set of SO/AC best practices. Second, we believe similar Guidelines may also be considered by the Staff accountability working group, if issues of Good Faith were raised as part of its issue identification effort.
