Important Information

Update 7 June 2015 – Due to the late availability of the translated versions of the proposal, those who are reliant on these translated versions to provide input will have the ability to submit their comments until 12 June at 23:59 UTC. Please seehttps://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/CCWG+on+Enhancing+ICANN+Accountabilityfor the translated CCWG-Accountability proposal. For these submissions, the CCWG-Accountability requires a covering note explaining that the comments were dependent on the translated versions.

Update 1 June 2015 – Three questions from the CCWG-Accountability proposal were inadvertently omitted from the questions on this page. They are in the proposal document, but not copied over to the public comment input below.

Please consider the following three questions in your responses to the CCWG-Accountability public comment:

  1. The CCWG-Accountability welcomes feedback on whether there is a need, as part of Work Stream 1 (pre-Transition), to provide for any other means for other parts of the ICANN system to be able to propose new Fundamental Bylaws or changes to existing ones.  In particular, the CCWG-Accountability welcomes feedback on whether the Mission should be subject to even higher thresholds of Board or community assent.
    (paragraph 126 of the CCWG-Accountability proposal)
  2. Do you agree that the introduction of a community mechanism to empower the community over certain Board decisions would enhance ICANN's accountability?
    (paragraph 189 of the CCWG-Accountability proposal)
  3. What guidance, if any, would you provide to the CCWG-Accountability regarding the proposed options? Please provide the underlying rationale in terms of required accountability features or protection against certain contingencies.
    (paragraph 190 of the CCWG-Accountability proposal)

The CCWG-Accountability requests community feedback on the proposed enhancements to ICANN's accountability framework it has identified as essential to happen or be committed to before the IANA Stewardship Transition takes place (Work Stream 1). Your input will help the CCWG-Accountability to improve its proposal and carry on with next steps, including Chartering Organizations' endorsement of the CCWG-Accountability output before it is submitted to the ICANN Board. This comment period is an opportunity for you to make your voice heard and to shape the outcome of the CCWG-Accountability work.

In order to have time to analyze and process community feedback before ICANN53 (21-25 June), and considering the key dependencies Work Stream 1 has with the work related to the IANA Stewardship Transition, the CCWG-Accountability determined that the maximum time that could be allotted to this comment period is 30 days. The CCWG-Accountability Work Stream 1 proposals are not final: a second Public Comment period is planned for July, and will be a full 40-day period. Because this (first) Public Comment period is less than the required 40-day minimum, it has been approved by two ICANN Global Leaders.
