[CCWG-ACCT] Follow up from the last CCWG call

[Izumi Okutani]

Sure Robin, I totally support considering those issues and to have this included in the public comments.
Thank you infact for the work you are doing in this short time frame.

I see some additional posts on this and I trust we will be making good progress. I suppose what I would like to confirm is whether to make it a must at this point to have a complete, finalised solution on reconsideration for submssion to the NTIA.

Given we have some reasonable progress on this issue, with assurance that remaining open issues will be addressed with other mechanisms to be inplace which would strengthen ICANN's accountability, we could give it some flexbilities to incorporate what will then has been worked on until that point, even if it may not necessarily be the perfectly agreed solution in all details. I would like to have a chance to revisit and consider this at the point when we are closer to the target date, depending on the progress.
 
Thanks,
Izumi

There was some suggestion that we need to look at this circular aspect of the issue as well, and possibly find a mechanism that provides for a different set of eyes making the first cut when at looking at the merits of Request.  I'd be interested to hear what others think of this circular aspect of the RR process.

Thank you infact for all the work you are doing in this short time frame.

I trust we will be making good progress and I suppose what I would like to confirm is whether we have to make a it must to have a complete, finalised solution for submssion to the NTIA.

Alternative could be, given we have some reasonable progress on this issue with assurance remaining open issues will be addressed as with other mechanisms to be place which would strengthen ICANN's accountability, we give it some flexbilities to incorporate what has been worked until on that point and not necessarily wait for the perfectly agreed solution. I would like to have a chance to revisit and consider this at the point when we are close the the target date, depending on the progress.
 

Izumion being list as WS1 requirement.
