[CWG-Stewardship] FW: [client com] CWG Comment Letter to CCWG 3rd Draft Proposal

Fri Dec 11 16:51:49 UTC 2015

All,

Please see attached for the (Sidley Austin authored) proposed CWG response to the current CCWG proposal with reference to the CWG dependence on that proposal.

Our plan is for the CWG to review and comment on this response before (and possibly during) the meeting on Tuesday next week such that we get ourselves into a position to provide a thorough response to the current CCWG proposal. 

In addition to communicating our response to the CCWG via the Co-chairs, we also plan to submit the final document into the public comment forum before 21 December and to provide it to the CCWG chartering organisations.

Therefore, please provide any feedback or suggested edits as soon as you are able to properly review the document.

Thank-you

Jonathan

Subject: [client com] Call next week and approved project

Dear Sidley team, 

Below is a note from the Chairs outlining a process for review of the CCWG-Accountability dependencies. Following on the process for the CCWG’s 2nd Public Comment, the Chairs suggested to the CWG-Stewardship that Sidley assist with tracking these dependencies. During the CWG-Stewardship meeting today (archived here <https://community.icann.org/x/kbpYAw> ), the group approved instruction to Sidley for this project. 

The request is for Sidley to work on item #1 and have in mind that the CWG-Stewardship will be requesting item #2 as an update in the future. I’ve copied the two items directly below for your convenience: 

1.      Review the CCWG proposal put out for public comment and then submit confirmation to the public comment that the CCWG proposal does meet the CWG conditionality (if indeed it does) and; 

2.      Confirm that the final proposal (to be prepared following the public comment period) continues to meet the CWG conditionality  (if indeed it does).

Ideally, this work should be ready for the CWG-Stewardship call on 15 December so that the CWG-Stewardship can review and make its submission to the CCWG-Accountability Public Comment thereafter. 

I’m sending this note on behalf of the Client Committee due to the relative urgency of the project. To discuss other approved projects, the Client Committee proposes a teleconference next week. Please reply to indicate any times/dates for which you are unavailable and we will schedule accordingly. 

Thank you, 

Grace

Subject: [CWG-Stewardship] A process to resolve CWG Stewardship dependencies on CCWG Accountability

All,

During our CWG meeting last week, we were unable to deal fully with the topic of the CCWG on ICANN accountability in so far as it is directly relevant to the work of this group.

In particular, confirming the process to deal with the fact that the CWG Stewardship response to the ICG is expressly conditioned on the CCWG Accountability proposal.

The CCWG have had a formal update <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/ccwg-accountability-issues-formal-update-on-progress-made-in-and-after-icann54-in-dublin>  out for a while now, ahead of publication of their 3rd draft proposal which is due out on Monday, November 30th.

We propose to utilise the services of Sidley Austin to confirm that the CCWG Accountability proposal does indeed meet the conditionality requirements of the CWG Stewardship. As you will recall, Sidley reviewed the previous CCWG proposal and assisted similarly.

Moreover, we propose to undertake this work in two stages:

1.      Review the CCWG proposal put out for public comment and then submit confirmation to the public comment that the CCWG proposal does meet the CWG conditionality (if indeed it does) and 

2.      Confirm that the final proposal (to be prepared following the public comment period) continues to meet the CWG conditionality  (if indeed it does).

We believe that by working in this way, we will be able to

A.     Assist the CCWG by clearly communicating our position at the key stages. As we have done throughout the course of their work

B.     Assist the CCWG chartering organisations at key stages of their processes such that the they will be able to review the proposal and make their respective decisions with clear knowledge of the CWG position.

We look forward to working with the CWG on this and other matters over the forthcoming weeks.

Thank-you.

Lise & Jonathan
