<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">1.
Per its Charter, the Project Cost Support Team
(PCST) has supported the CCWG-Accountability in
developing a draft budget and cost-control processes
for the CCWG-Accountability activities for FY17, and
has also developed a historical analysis of all the
transition costs to date (see <a

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">2.
The CCWG-Accountability FY17 budget was presented at
its plenary meeting of June 21st and approved for
transmission to the Chartering Organizations for
validation as per the process agreed with the PCST.
This request for validation was received on 23 June.</span></p>

Following review and discussion during ICANN56, the
GNSO Council requested a webinar on this topic which
was held on 23 August (see transcript at <a

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">4.
The GNSO Council notes that many members of the GNSO
community have expressed the view that the projected
budget does not likely support revisiting the topic
of the jurisdiction of ICANN’s organization in that
such exploration would likely require substantial
independent legal advice on alternative
jurisdictions and their potential impact on the text
and structure of ICANN’s Bylaws.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">5.
The GNSO Council has discussed and reviewed all the
relevant materials.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">RESOLVED,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">1.
The GNSO Council hereby accepts the proposed
CCWG-Accountability FY17 budget, as well as the
cost-control processes presented in conjunction with
the CCWG budget, expects the working groups to be
restrained and judicious in their use of outside
legal assistance, and believes that the Legal
Committee should exercise reasonable and effective
controls in evaluating requests for outside legal
assistance and should approve them only when deemed
essential to assist a working group to fully and
objectively understand and develop a particular
course of action for which the group has reached a
substantial degree of consensus and requires legal
advice on its risks and feasibility.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">2.
The GNSO Council expects to receive regular updates
on actual expenditures as tracked against this
adopted budget, and reserves the right to provide
further input on the budget allocation in relation
to the CCWG-Accountability related activities.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">3.
The GNSO Council expects ICANN staff, including its
office of General Counsel, to provide the assistance
requested by the CCWG and its working groups in an
expeditious, comprehensive, and unbiased manner.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">4.
The GNSO Council expects the CCWG-Accountability and
staff to work within the constraints of this
approved budget, and that excess costs or requests
for additional funding beyond said budget should be
recommended by the Legal Committee only when deemed
essential to completion of the CCWG’s work and
objectives. .</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">5.
It is the position of the GNSO Council that
revisiting the jurisdiction or organization of the
ICANN legal entity, as established by
CCWG-Accountability Work Stream 1, would not likely
be supported by this projected budget and, further,
that such inquiry should not be undertaken at this
time because the new accountability measures are all
premised and dependent on California jurisdiction
for their effective operation, and any near-term
changes in organizational jurisdiction could be
extremely destabilizing for ICANN and its community.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">6.
The GNSO Council requests the GNSO Secretariat to
communicate this resolution to the
CCWG-Accountability Chairs, and to the office of the
ICANN CFO.</span></p>
