CALL FOR COMMENTS ON CCWG-ACCOUNTABILITY’S 2ND DRAFT PROPOSAL

The Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) has published its 2nd Draft Proposal with proposed improvements to ICANN’s accountability framework. You can find the proposal here: 
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-draft-2-proposal-work-stream-1-recs-03aug15-en.pdf

In a previous public comment period in May 2015, CCWG-Accountability sought feedback on the direction of its proposal and preferences among the alternatives that were proposed. CCWG-Accountability has incorporated this input and is now seeking agreement on whether or not the proposal meets the community’s requirements. 

The comment period closes on 12 September 2015 at 23:59 UTC. Comments can be submitted via a web page here: 
https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-accountability-2015-08-03-en

Two webinars will be held this week to discuss the proposal on 4 August 2015 from 19:00 – 21:00 UTC and 7 August 2015 from 07:00 – 09:00 UTC. More information is available here:

Next Steps

After the public comment period ends, CCWG-Accountability will reconvene to continue its work, aiming to finalise the Work Stream 1 proposal before submitting this to the Chartering Organisations and eventually to the ICANN Board of Directors.
