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

Hello,

Thanks very much to all of you who were able to join us for the call yesterday. It was a great start, and I really look forward to taking this issue forward. To that end, Chris and I would like to propose that we divide the process into three phases, as follows:

Phase 1. Identify the themes
Phase 2. Identify the problems
Phase 3. Develop the recommendations

We've already gotten started on Phase 1 with yesterday's conversation, which provided some initial ideas. 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:

Note that we're just looking for broad ideas here, and can drill down into more specifics in the second phase.

We've also settled our schedule for calls going forward for the next couple of months, as follows:

August 18, 13:00 UTC
Sept. 1, 05:00 UTC
Sept. 15, 19:00 UTC
Sept. 29, 13:00 UTC

Please don't hesitate to get in touch with myself of Chris if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing back from you!

Best,

Michael Karanicolas
