[CCWG-ACCT] TR: Re: Implementation and Work Stream 2 role for CCWG-Accountability

Fri Apr 1 14:36:23 UTC 2016

Dear Co-Chairs

Dear CCWG Colleagues,

Thank you very much for your kind message.

I wish to remind you and the Lawyers that the Mission of Working Group to
prepare ICANN revised Bylaws is merely and solely limited and restricted to
translate the relevant parts of the CCWG Supplemental Proposal dated 23
February as approved by chattering organizations and then by ICANN Board
and communicated to NTIA on 11 March 2016.

In other words, those text appeared in that Report need to be translated
into legal text with full authenticity and without ANY CHANGES WHAT SO EVER,

Surprisingly, I have seen text distributed by Lawyers quoting new
requirements e.g. from CWG for an equivalent amount of 3 years IANA budget
as reserved budget for the implementation of PTI functions.

While I do not have any difficulties to envisage a rescue budget for any
rare and eventual circumstances that IANA financial resource face
difficulties I have one basis and fundamental difficulties as follows

CCWG has worked hardly during 14 months and gone through a very through
analysis of all TEXTS WITHOUT ANY Exception and also gone through three
public comments process and one supplemental process to finalize its
proposal.

That Proposal went through the approval process of Chartering Organizations
and ICANN Board’s approval

Consequently, any issue, no matter whether or not is relevant must be

Seen and approved by the entire CCWG

Published for public comments

Approved by Chattering Organizations

Approved by ICANN Board

After the above-mentioned 5 steps are completed then relevant text may be
included in the Draft Bylaws

Having said that, I have no problem to raise the issues discussed by CWG in
this regard and attaching their wishes to a CCWG Note TO BE SENT TO ICANN
BOARD.

ICANN Board could review the matter and make necessary provisions in their
operational procedure such as opening a credit line labelled “IANA Budget
Reserve” fed by ICANN with and annual equivalent amount of up to x% (NOT
MORE THAN 10 5) in an accumulated manner to provide a rescue circumstances.
However, this is an operational issue within the remit of the ICANN and has
nothing to do with BYLAWS

Regards

KAVOUSS
