Objet : Re: Implementation and Work Stream 2 role for CCWG-Accountability



Dear Chartering Organizations,



We are writing to you to follow up on our email from 6 March (available
here
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2016-March/0
11657.html> ), and provide an update on the Work Stream 1 implementation
oversight and scoping for Work Stream 2.



Hearing no objections from the Chartering Organizations, we have proceeded
with an implementation oversight role to ensure that the implementation is
consistent with the Work Stream 1 report.



To date, this work has been focused on the drafting of Bylaws and Articles
of Incorporation. There is a critical path for the Bylaws drafting, and
along with the CWG-Stewardship co-Chairs, we have instructed our legal
teams to work with ICANN to draft the Bylaws. It is expected that a final
draft of the proposed revisions to the Bylaws would be available for CCWG
review by 2 April at the latest. The CCWG has two calls scheduled to
facilitate its review of the Bylaws. Following CCWG review, the Bylaws
would be published for an open community-wide public comment period.



It is important to remember that the overall transition schedule depends
on completing this work. In order for the transition to take place by the
end of the current contract between NTIA and ICANN on 30 September, ICANN
must publish the Bylaws for a 30-day public comment period by 20 April,
and the Board would need to approve the changes to the Bylaws by 27 May.



Once the Bylaws work is complete, we will turn our focus to:

·         Completing the work on IRP that goes beyond the Bylaws

·         Finalizing the budget process in coordination with the
CWG-Stewardship

·         Undertaking Work Stream 2 (WS2)



You may have seen a call for WS2 volunteers on the ICANN website last week
(available here <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-03-25-en> ).
We ask that you also share this call for volunteers widely to ensure that
all interested parties, including those outside of the ICANN ecosystem,
are aware that they are welcome to participate in projects of WS2. It is
important for our group to continue to strive for maximized diversity of
our participants going forward.



We would like to emphasize that the CCWG-Accountability will remain open
to anyone who wishes to join, and we will welcome informed individuals
with relevant implementation and operational experience to join the
CCWG-Accountability in this next phase. Finally, we are conscious of the
heavy workload the CCWG-Accountability has been for your appointed
members, and we would like to ask once more for Chartering Organizations
to re-confirm member participation, and appoint new replacement members if
necessary.



Thank you,



Leon Sanchez, Thomas Rickert, and Mathieu Weill

CCWG-Accountability Co-Chairs
