In the “Key questions and issues” paper, the ccWG says that standing to file appeals using the proposed appeals panel is still under consideration by the CWG. Effectiveness of those recourse mechanisms depend to a large extent on who can appeal a decision
and on what grounds. Effectiveness, affordability and independence of appeal mechanisms are key elements of a sound accountability system for us. I don´t know whether it belongs to this WG or the other on accountability to elaborate on appeal mechanisms.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

of the IANA functions contract with decisions made at the local level notably to redelegate a ccTLD. The process for delegation and relegation of ccTLDs, including any appeal or review mechanisms, could be tested against instances where the redelegation is
disputed, i.e. by the incumbent Registry operator because they are the most complex scenarios ICANN can be confronted to.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

Transition (SAC 069) which contains several recommendations as regards accountability and protection against outside political or economic influence on the IANA Functions Operator. It also recalls that the current contracts provides a legal shield for the
performance of IANA functions as they relate to entities subject to U.S. Government sanctions and recommends that this is retained in future IANA Service contracts. It could be worth exploring this issue in ccWG on naming related functions. The Advisory can
