The Board is deeply engaged in reviewing the CCWG-Accountability proposal
and has actively participated in the process. Consistent with our commitment
to transparency, we would like to share with the Community the steps in our
review process.
Last week, the ICANN Board submitted a preliminary set of comments
<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-ccwg-accountability-03aug15/msg00006.
html>  to the CCWG-Accountability Public Comment forum. The Board remains
committed to engaging and working with the CCWG on solutions to address
concerns raised in its preliminary set of comments.
A subset of ICANN Board Members and Staff Members have been meeting in
Washington, DC on Tuesday and Wednesday this week to further consider the
CCWG proposal and commence a review of an impact analysis from ICANN's
external counsel. As part of this meeting, the group held a call together
with the CCWG Chairs. For full transparency and to clarify the basis for the
review points and comments,ICANN will share the impact analysis and publish
it in the CCWG Public Comment forum. The Board welcomes feedback from the
CCWG on the impact analysis as it finalizes its responses to the CCWG
proposal in the Public Comment forum.
Next week, consistent with the CCWG request, the Board will have an open
teleconference with the CCWG to help inform the Board's development of its
comments to be submitted into the Public Comment forum before the close of
the comment period on 12 September. Call details will be announced so that
anyone in the community may participate.
Finally, in light of the importance of these discussions, we propose that
the CCWG-Accountability hold a public meeting in Los Angeles in late
September to continue the dialogue with the Board on the CCWG proposal.
As part of the ICANN community, we will continue to work constructively to
help the CCWG finalize the proposal to achieve a successful IANA Stewardship
transition and an ICANN with enhanced accountability. We remain appreciative
of the CCWG's valuable work.
