<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Reflecting on this CCOICI Motion and responses received from Marika and Ariel, I have the following questions for consideration:<u></u><u></u></b></p>

<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="m_3720006335717523702MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Is some action for staff required by the Motion in relation to the SO/AC Accountability requirements set forth in Chapter 7 of the GNSO Operating Procedures? If so, will that action
also take into account any final version of the Terms of Reference for the SO/AC Accountability provisions of the Pilot Holistic Review? Or are we saying the current version of Chapter 7 of the GNSO Operating Procedures is solid and we are sticking with that?
How is this affected by the Motion? Or is there no effect? (Sorry but it’s unclear to me where we are going on this and what ICANN staff is supposed to do.)<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small">The Chapter 7 dictates the operating principles and participation guidance of Stakeholder Groups/Constituencies within the GNSO.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small"><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">In CCOICI, we only review the WS2 recommendations in the sense that whether it applies to Council, we don't review it on behalf of other SO/Cs.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">As a result, this recommendation report only deals with what we consider concerns and is within the GNSO Council's remit. So in a sense, we're not saying that "the current version of Chapter 7 of the GNSO Operating Procedures is solid and we are sticking with that". Because we didn't review chapter 7 of GNSO Operating Procedure. Because reviewing chapter 7, which is about each SG/Cs and not Council, is not CCOICI's job. <br></div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small">In short, chapter 7 would not be affected by the Motion because the Motion concerns only the GNSO Council and not SG/Cs within the GNSO. </div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg3720006335717523702"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_3720006335717523702WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg3720006335717523702"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_3720006335717523702WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p>

policy-making processes. Does adoption of this Motion and the report mean that Council is directing staff to amend the Charter for Working Groups to include a provision requiring the WG to take into account any Human Rights implications? Or are we saying
the WG must take in to account all Core Values and perform the “balancing act” stated in the Annex 3 Human Rights Core Value Framework? (Just asking as a former member of the Human Rights SubGroup in the WS2 Accountability Workstream.)<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
