<DIV>Alissa,</DIV>
<DIV>Thank you very much for your message.</DIV>
<DIV>I will participate in CCWG ,for the time being and until the GAC
chair make different rarrangements, as A PARTICIPANT. When I intervene, I make
it clear that I am speaking on that capacity, should I need to intervene as
ICG,as I made once, indicating that the deadline for Workstream 1 should meet
and match with time lines that ICG established.</DIV>
<DIV>What I can inform you now as ICG Liaison is that the course of action being
taken does not correspond to the expectation of the overall accountabilty
and there is insufficient coordination between CWG and CCWG workstream 1. </DIV>
<DIV>Infact what ICG awaiting on accountability for its current activities
ON NAMES should be fed from CWG and not CCWG.</DIV>
<DIV>tHE Scope of activities of CCWG on accountabilty is currently norrowed down
to collection of information from the past expereince and not addressing the
fundamental issue of accountability ,if and only if, NTIA transfers the
stewardship of IANA functions to Global Multistakeholder which would certainly
bedifferent from the existing structure and mechanism of ICANN .</DIV>
<DIV>We should all remember that currently ICANN is accountable to NTIA.To which
entity ICANN would be accountable after transition, it is not yet clear.
Certainly ,ICANN would not be accountable to ICANN .tHERE MUST BE A WORKABLE
MECHANISM to which ICANN would be accountable .This is a fact and reality.</DIV>
<DIV>By the way, I was not voluteer to be Liason at CCWG, i WAS VOLUNTEERED FOR
cwg, YOU ASKED ME TO WITHDRAW FROM CWG and I respected your request</DIV>
<DIV>tks </DIV>

<DIV>I would also add that Kavouss, like anyone, can participate actively in
the Enhancing ICANN Accountability CCWG as an individual participant. I will
be doing the same thing. I am not the official "appointed member" from the
Registries Stakeholder Group (GNSO) but I will still be very active on behalf
of Verisign, my employer. Similarly, Kavouss can participate actively on
behalf of the Government of Iran or in his individual capacity. There is no
restriction to anyone's active participation. Hope that helps!</DIV>

<DIV>As I mentioned to you off-list, I think it’s fine if you want to
participate in the CCWG-Accountability as both a GAC representative and ICG
liaison, as long as (i) you confirm that the GAC wants you to serve as its
representative, which is a decision that needs to be made among you and the
other GAC members, without involvement from the ICG, and (ii) you make it
clear to all CCWG participants that all of your contributions are on behalf
of the GAC unless you explicitly state that you are providing information
from the ICG. The ICG has no role in decisions of the GAC about the GAC’s
representation in the CCWG.</DIV></DIV>

<DIV>As the ICG discussed in Los Angeles, (see pages 50-60 of our meeting
transcript: <A
href="http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/fri-icg/transcript-icg-17oct14-en.pdf"
target=_blank>http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/fri-icg/transcript-icg-17oct14-en.pdf</A>
) the ICG wanted to make sure that we had people who could send information
back and forth between our group and the CCWG. As summarized in the
transcript, "Anything you think is important, let us know. Anything that we
think is important, we'll let you know." The structure of the CCWG had not
been formulated at the time when you agreed to liaise, but I think we had
good agreement within the ICG nonetheless that the liaison role there on our
behalf would be to share information back and forth, and not to specifically
represent the ICG or vote on our behalf.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you would prefer, we can see if we can find a different ICG liaison
or rely solely on Keith Drazek for now if you think serving as the liaison
will interfere with your ability to participate in the CCWG.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>

<DIV>Dear All,</DIV>
<DIV>I wish to inform you that on the unfounded bureaucratic ground
,people wishes to avoid or prevent receiving any comments from me on the
most crucial and most fundamental issue of ICANN ACCOUNTABILITY CCWG
.</DIV>
<DIV>However, I continue to comments and do in no way accept that because
I am not the member of that group ( not included in the Thomas Schneider
letter to the chair of that group my sincere volunteer to fully and
actively participate as GAC member from Asia Pacific which is
the most largest ICANN geographical region with more
<SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN>than 75 countries or geographical dependent
territories , my volunteer was rejected by the chair and the crew ).</DIV>
<DIV>This is not fair nor acceptable</DIV>
<DIV>I have asked to be the member of that Group from July 2014 in
multiple communications to the former GAC Chsair and the Secretary. </DIV>
<DIV>We need to encourage those who wish to contribute and not put an
obstacle in using purely bureaucratic element that participants or Lisison
can not actively contribute</DIV>
