<p>Hello All</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Excellent, productive calls. Thank you, Leon. In response to Paul's urgings for a practical agenda for action, the main suggestions that I have taken from the first two conversations are:</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-decoration: underline;">Workstream 1</p>
<p> </p>
<p>*to make explicit commitments regarding diversity (minimally geographical, perhaps also cultural, linguistic, age and gender) in the proposed new accountability bodies (in particular the SO/AC community empowerment mechanism and the IRP)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>*to indicate how SOs/ACs in holding the board accountable through the new community empowerment mechanism are themselves also sufficiently accountable in the exercise of these powers (partly this might be demonstrated by listing relevant points from existing
SO/AC rules and procedures, partly it may be secured with new measures such as the suggested MAR or adherence to the INGO Accountability Charter)</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-decoration: underline;">Workstream 2</p>
<p> </p>
<p>*to include in the CCWG report (and carry over into the ICG consolidated proposal) an itemised list of specific issues and objectives regarding diversity, SO/AC accountability, and staff accountability; progress towards these objectives to be evaluated two
years down the line as part of the IANA transition review - this undertaking would seem to imply a continuation of the CCWG Accountability or some successor construction</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No doubt others can articulate the points more precisely, but it could be helpful to have a concise synthesis to move us forward in the limited time available?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Greetings</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jan</p>

<div>Hi Sebastien<br>
<br>
I agree with other members of Wp3 on our last meeting that the geographic diversity is only a priority for our work in the next couple of weeks in ensuring that the customer review bodies etc of the IANA transition model are forced to be geographically diverse
in their make-up.<br>
<br>
But the bigger strategic issue of ICANN always pushing itself to be reflective of the Global Internet Community, including geographically, as you point out has not had a time frame put on it. I think the work of the WG upto June 2013 was fine in its own context
- but that context was limited. I am not against the Board acting on the WG recommendations, but I do worry that will be seen as the end of the matter - while I think it is only the beginning. And I am worried that we have little time to get ahead of
this issue before it comes up on us.<br>
<br>
I am interested to hear others' thoughts as to how we get this issue on the practical agenda for action.<br>
<br>
<br>

<div>Hi Paul,</div>
<div>As you know</div>
<div>" the ICANN Board at its Public Meeting in Cairo (November 2008)7 , authorized the formation of the proposed working group. The Board subsequently approved the Working Group’s Charter on 26 June 2009. »</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The world has change since 2008/2009 and even since the publication of the final report of the WG in June 2013.</div>
<div>ICANN is doing SO/AC reviews within a certain time frame. The same for AoC reviews.</div>
<div>This one (one of the few with global remit) as no timeframe.</div>
<div>It is time for the Board to act diligently on the improvement proposed in this document.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But we may also add this review in the regular ones or add this issue as an additional topic in another one already discuss (like ATRT for example).</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Hi Alice<br>
<br>
I would also note that the working group responded to the task it was given by the Board:
<br>
<meta name="Title" content="">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br>
"The Working Group was formed by the Board to </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">(1) identify the different purposes for which ICANN’s Geographic Regions are used;
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">(2) determine whether the uses of ICANN’s Geographic Regions (as currently defined, or at all) continue to meet
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">the requirements of the relevant stakeholders; and
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">(3) submit proposals for community and Board consideration relating to the current and future uses and definition of the ICANN Geographic Region"<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
There was no real discussion of the global strategic challenges facing ICANN in a world where Internet activity and power is shifting dramatically away from the hubs of the late 1990s which underlie ICANN's present structures.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
The sections on page 15 talking about change in number of regions say to reduce the number would be too burdensome on travel for some members of the community and to increase them will increase the costs of the support. Hardly a strategic analysis.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
I think this issue is a very important one for the strategic viability of ICANN and for that matter the general acceptance of a single Root.<br>
