Subject: [CCWG-Accountability] Prior work on Accountability structures in 2012<br>
To: &quot;<a href="mailto:accountability-cross-community@icann.org" target="_blank">accountability-cross-community@icann.org</a>&quot; &lt;<a href="mailto:accountability-cross-community@icann.org" target="_blank">accountability-cross-community@icann.org</a>&gt;<br>
<br>
<br>
Hello All,<br>
<br>
From the ATRT1 review, the Board created the Accountability Structures Expert panel (ASEP)&nbsp; to recommend improvements to the current accountability structures.<br>
<br>
I have attached their final report from:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-26oct12-en.pdf" target="_blank">
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-26oct12-en.pdf</a> from October 2012.<br>
<br>
It may be of some use to this group.<br>
<br>
Some points I picked out from their recommendations:<br>
<br>
The Four Es:<br>
<br>
•&nbsp; Enhancing effectiveness of structures<br>
<br>
•&nbsp; &nbsp;Efficiency in process<br>
<br>
•&nbsp; &nbsp; Allowing expeditious resolution<br>
<br>
•&nbsp; &nbsp; Enhancing community’s ease of access to accountability structures<br>
<br>
“The Board must always act with objectivity and fairness in the best interests of ICANN, but in doing so take account of the legitimate needs, interests and expectations of stakeholders material to the issue being decided. Staff must act in same manner.&quot;<br>
<br>
Create stability through building of precedent<br>
<br>
Where possible, reduce burden and costs to those accessing structures<br>
<br>
Accountability structures should not preclude any party from filing suit against ICANN in court of competent jurisdiction<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Bruce<br>
