> It seems we have universal agreement on the link between  IANA Stewardship Transition & ICANN Accountability.
> In order to support these two critical and closely linked areas of work, we need three sets of volunteers from the GNSO as follows:
>  
> GNSO / CCNSO initiated CWG on Transition of NTIA's Stewardship of the IANA Functions
>  
> ·         Up to 4 participants (from the GNSO) for the Charter Drafting Team ASAP
> ·         Logically, this seems to be 1 per SG
> ·         There is an informal gathering of the participants (in so far as they already exist) today at 18h00 in Sovereign (or Cadogan if required)
>  
> Coordination Group on Transition of NTIA's Stewardship of the IANA Functions
> 
> ·         https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/process-next-steps-2014-06-06-en
> ·         ICANN is seeking 5 participants from the GNSO including 2 from the Registries
> ·         Logically, and I believe we are agreed, this seems to be 1 per SG (excluding Registries SG)

> Enhancing ICANN Accountability
>  
> ·         https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/enhancing-accountability-2014-05-06-en
> ·         It has been suggested that ICANN may seek 4 participants from the GNSO but this is not confirmed
> ·         Public comment (reply period) open until 27 June 2014
> ·         Avri Doria (NCPH / NCSG) and James Bladel (CPH / RrSG) to participate in panel / community session to discuss accountability on Thursday 26 June, 2014
>  
> There may or may not be overlap between the above participants.  I propose that the Council acts as co-ordinator.
> I do not propose that we apply any (GNSO Council) selection process but am mindful of the desirability of diversity.
>  
> Also, I am cognisant that the Council has a management / coordination role to play here in order to ensure that channels of communication are well maintained and bottom-up processes are followed.
>  
> Please can you communicate and work with / within your respective SGs to produce these names and provide them to the GNSO Secretariat as soon as possible.
