As both Cross Community Working Groups prepare for community engagement and
work sessions at ICANN52 in Singapore, the Chairs of the CWG-Stewardship and
CCWG-Accountability would like to recognize the interdependence and
connected nature of the work of their respective groups, as set out by the
ICANN processes1 
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-01-26-en#foot1>  and further
reinforced by each working group's Charter.2
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-01-26-en#foot2>
Following the ICANN 51 Meeting in Los Angeles, the CWG-Stewardship Chairs
and the Chairs of the CCWG-Accountability Charter Drafting Team started to
hold update and coordination calls, a practical and early recognition of the
requirement for active collaboration on their respective work efforts. These
weekly interchanges and updates are ongoing and serve to keep each other
informed about questions and issues arising from their respective working
groups. Moving forward, the Chairs commit to continue to actively work
together, and synchronize insofar as possible, on timelines and milestones,
especially where there are accountability mechanisms that may be relevant
for both groups.
To assist in broader community understanding of the interdependencies of the
parts of Work Stream 1 that relates to the CWG, a schematic illustration of
the dynamics between the two working groups is available in a flowchart

Work in Progress
The CCWG-Accountability has just concluded a two-day meeting
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-01-23-en>  in Frankfurt,
Germany (19-20 January), during which they discussed their Work Stream 1
requirements, with initial input from the CWG-Stewardship on accountability
dependencies. Both working groups are expected to continue this dialogue as
work progresses.
The CWG-Stewardship, following an intensive work weekend
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-01-12-en>  on 10-11 January,
is in the process of reviewing its timeline for submission of a proposal to
the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG). A vital part of
this endeavor is the seeking of legal advice on questions related to the
viability of key elements of the CWG-Stewardship proposal. As the
CCWG-Accountability also moves forward to seek legal advice, the Chairs will
inform each other of the process used and advice received, so as to further
ensure efficient synchronization in light of dependent and compressed
timeframe.
ICANN 52 Meeting in Singapore (9-13 February 2015)
The Chairs intend to all be present at both CWG-Stewardship and
CCWG-Accountability related sessions during the ICANN 52 Meeting in
