Note: the text of the charter should be same as the one I sent the group
last week.
Another note: the issue of greater representation for the Constituencies
of the CwG has come up again in the council. I pointed out that in this
case there were neither discussions nor history of an ad-hoc group
having had greater CSG representation and thus no notion of it being
grandmothered in.
This charter is up for a vote next week. NCSG should start selecting
its member for the group.* The group will be as open to particIpation
as in cwg-stewardship, except that this charter calls them
participants. Each CWG learns from the experiences of the previous.
(In the ordering and learning, CWG-Internet came before CWG-Stewarship,
it is just that is languished on the GNSO Council schedule a very long
time, so it was voted on later.)
avri
* the PC is currently trying to get its organizational act together,
with our past-Chair no longer being a member of the PC, and not having
elected a new one yet. According to our charter, as I read it, it will
need to choose a member from among those who put their names forward or
have their names put forward. So those who want to put the intensive
amount of work for the next year or more that may be required to be the
member of this CWG, should consider the task.

>> Proposed Charter for Enhancing ICANN Accountability Cross Community
Working Group (CCWG) Submitted for Consideration
>>
>> On 3 November 2014, the Drafting Team that was formed by the ICANN
community to develop a charter for the Enhancing ICANN Accountability
Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) distributed a charter for adoption
by chartering organizations. The charter includes, among other things, a
problem statement, goals & objectives, scope, and proposed areas for
work. The CCWG is expected to organize its activities in two Work
Streams, consistent with the Revised Enhancing ICANN Accountability Process:
>>
>>> Work Stream 1: focused on mechanisms enhancing ICANN accountability
that must be in place or committed to within the time frame of the IANA
Stewardship Transition; and
>>> Work Stream 2: focused on addressing accountability topics for which
a timeline for developing solutions and full implementation may extend
beyond the IANA Stewardship Transition.
>>>
>> Next Steps
>> Each ICANN Supporting Organization (SO) and Advisory Committee (AC)
is expected to consider the proposed charter during its upcoming
November meeting(s). Following the adoption of the charter, chartering
organizations are expected to identify their representative members to
serve on the CCWG (each chartering organization will appoint a minimum
of 2 and a maximum of 5 members to the CCWG). In addition, a call for
volunteers to join the CCWG will be launched, so that anyone interested
in this effort may join and participate. The CCWG is expected to
commence its deliberations in late November or early December.
>>
>> All members of the group formerly known as the "Cross Community
Group" will be added to the CCWG as participants, unless some are
appointed by chartering organizations to serve as members or decide not
to join this effort.
>>
>> Drafting Team Background
>> Considering the short timeframe ahead and the relation of part of the
Accountability work to the IANAStewardship Transition process, the
Drafting Team worked on an expedited basis to develop the charter. The
publication date was identified to align with the November meetings of
ICANN's SOs and ACs, to allow for the question of CCWG charter adoption
to be discussed. For details of each of the Drafting Team's meetings,
including interim draft versions of the charter, please see here.
>>
>> The Drafting Team was formed following the ICANN51 meeting and
includes members appointed by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC),
Address Supporting Organization (ASO), Country Code Supporting
Organization (ccNSO), Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) and Generic
Names Supporting Organization (GNSO).1 In addition, one representative
from outside the ICANN SO/ACstructure joined the Drafting Team to ensure
that the charter defined an inclusive process for the broader community.
For a full list of Drafting Team members, please see here.
>>
>> Additional Information
>> The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)
has requested that ICANN"convene a multistakeholder process to develop a
plan to transition the U.S. government stewardship role" with regard to
the IANA Functions and related root zone management. In making its
announcement, the NTIA specified that the transition proposal must have
broad community support and meet the following principles:
>>
>> Support and enhance the multistakeholder model
>> Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS
>> Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and partners
of the IANA services
>> Maintain the openness of the Internet.
>> NTIA also specified that it would not accept a proposal that replaces
the NTIA role with a government-led or an intergovernmental organization
solution.
>>
>> During discussions around the transition process, the community
raised the broader topic of the impact of the change on ICANN's
accountability. The Enhancing ICANN Accountability process was finalized
and posted on 10 October 2014, and can be found here. The scope of the
Enhancing ICANNAccountability process is defined as ensuring that ICANN
remains accountable in the absence of its historical contractual
relationship with the U.S. Government and the perceived backstop with
regard toICANN's organization-wide accountability provided by that role,
such as the renewal process of theIANA functions contract. It calls for
an examination, from an organizational perspective, of how ICANN's
broader accountability mechanisms should be strengthened to address the
absence of its historical contractual relationship with the U.S.
Government, including looking at strengthening existing accountability
mechanisms (e.g., the ICANN Bylaws and the Affirmation of Commitments).
