[CCWG-ACCT] Feedback from GAC session

[Mathieu Weill]

Dear Colleagues,

This morning Thomas & I attended a session in the GAC to update on our 
progress. Apologies to the members of the group who did not spot this 
meeting, we had very short notice. Leon could for instance not make it.

FYI, I paste below in telegram style the main feedbacks from the short 
Q&A session that took place.

> Inputs from GAC room :
> -Argentina (Olga) :
> current focus of CCWG is focused on Icann itself. Requests more 
> engagement outside, especially in Latin America.
> also raised the issue of equal footing in the future community system. 
> This will be a sensitive issue for GAC
>
> - Spain:
> When considering the option of member organisation, why not go beyond 
> US law ? Feels that it limits participation to US experts.
> Also insists that accountability mechanisms must be effective, 
> independent, affordable
>
> - France :
> Very supportive of our proposals and suggested that the GAC supports 
> the principles.
> Looking for a way to create some form of Board oversight
>
> - Brazil :
> Acknowledged quality of CCWG work.
> Stresses importance of "independent" review & redress.
> Also noted that the way the Board will consider proposals will be 
>  very sensitive for them.
>
> - Germany :
> Concern about interelation with CWG and timelines.
>
> I did welcome the input and noted that GAC input was consistent with 
> input from other parts of the community, which I found quite encouraging.
