<b>2. Process and Participation in CCWG-Accountability</b><br>
<br>
Whereas<br>
<br>
On 13 November 2014 the GNSO approved the charter for a Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability);<br>
<br>
On 3 August the Public Comment on the CCWG-Accountability 2ndDraft Proposal was initiated, which ended on 12 September 2015;<br>
<br>
The CCWG-Accountability has analyzed the comments received in the review of the 2nd draft and is working toward updating its reference<br>
implementation taking into account the concerns expressed in those comments;<br>
<br>
and The CCWG-Accountability is working in a considered and collegial manner to achieve a consensus solution to ICANN Accountability;<br>
<br>
Acknowledging<br>
<br>
the superb and continuing leadership of CCWG-Accountability by the team which includes the GNSO appointed co-chair Thomas Rickert, to whom we<br>
are grateful for his time and consistent effort;<br>
<br>
Resolved<br>
<br>
The GNSO reiterates its support for the process that is ongoing in CCWG-Accountability,<br>
<br>
its commitment to participating in continuing discussions with the goal of finding solutions with broad agreement for ICANN accountability in<br>
preparation for IANA transition, and<br>
<br>
to working through the process as agreed upon in the charter before declaring support or opposition to possible outcomes.<br>
