As reported Wednesday
<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/updating-our-community-on-our-review-of-the
-ccwg-accountability-proposal> , the Board is engaged in full review of the
CCWG-Accountability proposal. In line with our commitment to be open and
transparent about our process, we are using this space to update the
community on our next steps.
A subset of the ICANN Board and staff members finished a productive series
of meetings this week focused on the CCWG proposal. We shared Wednesday that
as part of this meeting, the group held a call with the CCWG Chairs, and met
with several advisors. Additionally, we met with Larry Strickling, Assistant
Secretary for Communications and Information and NTIA Administrator. The
Board also held an informational call today. We would like to thank everyone
for their time and valuable contributions to our discussion.
Also, as reported earlier this week, we have received an impact analysis of
the proposal from our external counsel Jones Day. The impact analysis has
been posted to the Public Comment forum

On Monday 31 August, the CCWG will hold a 90-minute call at 22:00 UTC to
brief the Board on its proposal, and also provide an opportunity for
discussion. Details of the call will be posted to the CCWG wiki
<https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/CCWG+on+Enhancing+ICANN+A
ccountability>  so that anyone in the community may participate.
On Wednesday 2 September, the Board and the CCWG will hold a call for the
Board to share its feedback on the proposal. This call will take place at
22:00 UTC and can be streamed live throughAdobe Connect
<https://icann.adobeconnect.com/dialogue/> . There will also be an
opportunity for a follow up call if needed.
After those conversations with the CCWG, the Board will post its comments in
the Public Comment forum.
We are committed to working productively and constructively to achieve a
successful IANA Stewardship transition and an ICANN with enhanced
accountability. We remain appreciative and supportive of the CCWG's valuable
work.
