[Chris Disspain]

Hello Michael, Chris, All,

Firstly, an apology for missing the call.

Secondly, another apology for my likely absence from the next call which conflicts with another current scheduled call. 

By the time we gat around to the call scheduled for 1 September, I have high hopes that I will be able to make it!

Cheers,

Chris Disspain

Taking as our starting point the four main topics delineated in the CCWG Accountability report, namely Enhancements to ICANN’s existing Documentary Information Disclosure Policy (DIDP). Transparency of ICANN’s interactions with governments, Improvements to the existing whistleblower policy, and Transparency of Board deliberations, we would like move forward with a consultation to come up with thematic topics for investigations. I've added the four themes, and a few subthemes, into the following Google doc, and I'd like to ask you to fill in any suggestions for subthemes below. We'll set a deadline of 16 August for submissions, to be discussed at the next call:
