Community Input into ICANN’s CCWG Accountability Work Stream 2 Draft Report

NPOC Colleagues,

Much of the work of ICANN and those of us engaged in its 
multistakeholder activities involves Internet governance policy 
development within ICANN’s remit, generally defined as the security and 
stability of the global domain name system (DNS). Most of that work has 
to do with arriving at a consensus on best practices in ICANN’s DNS 
policies.

However, sometimes something goes wrong, and one of the work stream 
tasks for ICANN in the now post-IANA Transition stage is to develop 
processes for accountability, both with regard to the board, and 
possibly for when issues arise elsewhere within the domain of ICANN’s 
activities.

To this end a cross community working group (CCWG-Accountability Work 
Stream 2) was formed and charged to develop guidelines for standards of 
conduct presumed to be in good faith associated with exercising removal 
of individual Directors of the ICANN Board. It may be the case that such 
guidelines for standards of conduct could also be applied to other 
issues within the scope of ICANNs activities.

The Accountability CCWG has posted a draft of its report and is 
requesting input from ICANN’s multistakeholder communities. Background 
information and links to the draft report can be found at:

the cut-off date for comments.

Have your say.
