*Open Date:*
21 February 2017
*Close Date:*
10 April 2017
*Originating Organization:*
Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability
(CCWG-Accountability)
*Categories/Tags:*
- Bylaws
- Transparency/Accountability
*Brief Overview:*
*Purpose:* This Public Comment seeks community input on the
CCWG-Accountability Work Stream 2 draft recommendations to improve ICANN's
transparency. These draft recommendations were developed by the
CCWG-Accountability as required by Annex 12 of the final report of the
Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability
(CCWG-Accountability, Work Stream 1).
*Current Status:* The CCWG-Accountability reviewed these draft
recommendations at its 8 February 2017 plenary meeting and approved their
publication to gather public comments.
*Next Steps:* Following the public comment period the inputs will be
analyzed by the CCWG-Accountability WS2 who will consider amending its
recommendations in light of the comments received and will publish a report
on the results of the public consultation. If significant changes are
required as a result of the public consultation the CCWG-Accountability WS2
may opt to have a second public consultation on the amended
recommendations. If there are no significant changes required, the
CCWG-Accountability WS2 will forward the final recommendations on improving
ICANN's Transparency to its Chartering Organizations for approval and then
to the ICANN Board for consideration and adoption.
