Dear David and Matthew,
Thanks to both of you for the useful edits and thoughtful comments.
Regarding the scope, I support David's addition to clarify that the CCWG
needs to take into account the effects of the transition in its broadest
sense :
>
> The CCWG will investigate accountability mechanisms regarding all of
> the functions provided by ICANN, as long as it finds that such
> accountability mechanism is related to the transition of the NTIA
> Stewardship in its broadest sense, i.e the NTIA Stewardship served as
> a de facto accountability mechanism across the entirety of ICANN. The
> CCWG will be expected to identify how its proposals are related to the
> transition, again in its broadest sense.
>
The intent of introducing this precision was to reflect a discussion
from Monday's call where concerns had been raised that stream 2 might be
too wide, and therefore might lead to dispersion or duplication of
efforts. I believe this wording (thanks to your edits) keeps discussions
quite open but manages this legitimate concern.
Best,
Mathieu

>> *Notes and Action Items -- DT meeting of 27 October*
>>
>> Reminder of target date for delivery of charter: 3 November 2014
>>
>> *Recap of changes made to Charter since last meeting*:
>>
>> * Latest version includes most up to date changes (including
>> Matthew Keith, and David today)
>> * Edits to fix some left over references to ICG where no longer
>> appropriate as well as updates to reflect that more than one
>> proposal may be submitted by the ICG as the two work streams are
>> likely to be completed along different timelines
>> * SOI clarification
>> * Clarification about ATRT role in concensus calls
>>
>> *Review of charter:*
>>
>> * Include definition of the term "accountability" in the Charter
>> (from NETmundial Statement): "Accountable: Mechanisms for
>> independent checks and balances as well asfor review and redress
>> should exist."
>>
>> /Question concerning scope/:
>>
>> * What is demarcation between WS1 and WS2?
>> * Focus on pre-transition vs. post-transition accountability as
>> opposed to IANA vs. non-IANA?
>> * The reference to IANA Functions accountability is being dealt
>> with by the other CCWG. This group should be focused on
>> accountability reforms made necessary by NTIA's disengagement
>> from its legacy role.
>> * ICANN's accountability to the community as a whole may need to be
>> reflected in the charter - is there a conflict between currently
>> proposed definitions of work streams & scope?
>> * NTIA oversight created accountability across ICANN - how to
>> recreate that general accountability mechanism prior to any
>> transition.
>> * Everything should be on the table for consideration - up to the
>> CCWG to determine what should be done before transition and what
>> can wait until after.
>> * Recommendations coming out of work stream 1 are expected to
>> provide a path for work going on in work stream 2. Process for
>> addressing anything coming up in work stream 2 is one of the
>> objectives of work stream 1.
>> * Transition of role of US Government is at the heart of the work
>> of the CCWG and also dictates timeline / sense of urgency - if
>> scope is too wide it risks the effort to get lost
>> * See challenges identified by Larry Strickling in his speech
>> * Stress test one of the key deliverables of CCWG
>>
>> /DT Agreements;/
>>
>> * Delineation between work stream 1 and 2 should be pre and post
>> transition
>> * Charter should not limit accountability mechanisms or functions
>> affected as part of the CCWG work
>>
>> /Deliverables, timeframes & reporting/
>>
>> * Proposed edits from Avri (see document circulated)
>> * Two additions proposed: 1) when solutions are proposed,
>> deliverables need to include stress test, scenarios to
>> demonstrate that the solutions are resistent to capture / stress;
>> 2) after assessing current situation, priorities need to be
>> identified - what is required before transition and what can wait
>> until after (big impact vs. limited impact) (Avri tried to
>> capture these as part of her edits which will be shared with the
>> DT shortly)
>> * Do stress tests need to be defined or conducted prior to
>> transition? At least for stream 1, this should be a requirement
>> to be conducted in theory. For work stream 2, may not be
>> required, or at least not in the short run.
>> * Stress test - proposals that demonstrate on paper how they would
>> resist 'stress' (capture, financial crisis) - incl. list of
>> nightmare scenarios. What are the stresses that were tested and
>> how the various mechanisms enable ICANN survive these 'stresses'.
>>
>> /Membership/
>>
>> * Include as a for example, the link to criteria identified for the
>> community working group (see
>> https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/enhancing-accountability-faqs-2014-08-22-en#12)
>>
>> /Working relationship with ICG / IANA Stewardship CWG/
>>
>> * Consider including reference to regular meetings between chairs
>> * Clarify the role of the board (not related to co-ordination, but
>> to final approval of proposals) - include link to board resolution
>> * Review this section and consider clarifying
>> * Main focus should be on IANA Stewardship Transition CWG as ICG
>> just has a co-ordinating role
>>
>> /Expert Advisors/
>>
>> * Section captures comments provided by Mathieu
>>
>> *Action item:*
>>
>> * Mathieu to draft language to update problem statement - need to
