> The CCWG face-to-face meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was attended
> in-person by XXXX members and participants, as well as by a number of
> participants and observers that joined the meeting remotely using the
> virtual meeting room. XXX Advisors also participated.

> The group discussed the summaries it had earlier prepared of the comments
> received from the community during the first public comment period on its
> initial draft report (
> https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-accountability-draft-proposal-2015-05-04-en)
> and can report the following:
>
>
>
> Broad support was received for the overall accountability architecture
> proposed, based on on 4 building blocks, i.e. an empowered community, the
> Board, the Bylaws and the Independent Review Process.
>
>
>
> Most comments considered the proposals would be improvements to ICANN’s
> current accountability mechanisms.
>
>
>
> Several commenters recommended the CCWG take a more detailed look at the
> accountability of the community itself (the SOs and ACs) and also to ensure
> that ICANN is accountable to all stakeholders, including those outside
> ICANN.
>
>
>
> While most commenters expressed support for the recommendations, some
> expressed concerns primarily regarding implementation details, legal
> implications and complexity, as well as on the underlying costs and risks
> associated with the proposals.
>
>
>
> The CCWG values the input received so far and will continue working to
> refine its initial draft report.
>
>
>
> While encouraged by the support received on the overall approach, the
> group acknowledges the concerns expressed and will give due consideration
> to suggestions and concerns as it develops a revised proposal in
> preparation for the upcoming second public comment period.
>
>
>
> With regards to the community empowerment mechanism, the CCWG considered
> various models presented in the meeting and acknowledged commonality of
> views with regards to expectations of such models, including the need to
> set up mutual accountability, and enhancements to openness and diversity.
>
>
>
> In particular, a number of commenters have raised concerns with the
> reference model. In that model, SOs and ACs would be required to set up
> separate legal entities, such as formally registering unincorporated
> associations, as their legal vehicle to exercise community powers. Feedback
> suggested that the community sees this model as too complex. The CCWG has
> analyzed these comments carefully and will now focus its work on a refined
> model. This fresh approach, provisionally called the Empowered SO/AC model,
> gives the community comparable authority while not adding legal entities
> separate from the SOs and ACs.
>
>
>
> The CCWG also considered public comments related to the dependencies with
> the CWG-Stewardship's final proposal. As the CWG’s proposal is under
> consideration by Chartering organizations, the CCWG notes that each of the
> items that the CWG has identified as critical to its proposal received
> overall support from the community. None of the comments suggested that CWG
> requirements could or should not be met.
>
>
>
> The CCWG will share these outcomes and considerations with the various
> groups and communities during ICANN 53. The group looks forward to
> continuing the fruitful exchanges that inform further deliberations towards
> a second round of public comment, which is expected to be published by the
> end of July.
