Notes

CWG Applicable?

       1

ICANN should continue to support outreach programmes that engage a broader audience, in order to reinforce participation from all stakeholders.

ICANN Board; ICANN Staff

TG1  

• @Former user (Deleted)

• @rafid.fatani

• @Adam Peake

• @evan.leibovitch

• Chair of TG1 to develop a paragraph and expand the notion of 'broader' based on the materials of the TG1; 

• Broader audience = underrepresented community members?

       2

ICANN should increase support (budget, staff) to programmes having brought valuable members to the community.

ICANN Board; ICANN Staff

TG1

• Outreach 

• Capacity Building

• Finance and Budget

• Define 'programmes' that brought value members to the community.

• Need to think of ways to optimize budget.

       3

ICANN should continue to shape an accountability model reaching not only Board members but all parts of the ICANN community, in order to develop a more transparent and productive environment

ICANN Board; ICANN Staff; ICANN Community

TG1

• Future Challenge

• Could feed into ICANN accountability process and At-Large work in this process

       4

ICANN should study the possibility of enhancing and increasing the role of Liaisons between its different Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations (AC/SOs) to do away with the “silo culture”.

ICANN SO & AC Chairs

TG1

• ALT

• Focus on developing training and mentoring opportunities for future successors of liaisons.

• Potential collaboration is needed between the ALAC and other SOs/ACs.

       5

ICANN should examine how best to ensure that end-users remain at the heart of the accountability process in all aspects pertaining to the transition of stewardship of the IANA function.

ICANN Board; ICANN Staff; ICANN Community

TG1

• Future Challenges

• Could feed into ICANN accountability process and the work of At-Large IANA issues WG.

       6

ICANN’s MSM should serve as the reference in encouraging all participants (individuals or parties) to declare and update existing or potential conflicts-of-interest, each time a vote takes place or consensus is sought.

ICANN Board; ICANN Staff; ICANN Community

TG1

• Future Challenges

• Could feed into the ICANN accountability process.
  
  
  

       7

A periodic review of ICANN's MSM should be performed to ensure that the processes and the composition of ICANN’s constituent parts adequately address the relevant decision-making requirements in the Corporation

The ALAC has the duty to keep track of action taken on all of the above recommendations.

translation available in a timely manner.

• Capacity Building WG / Outreach SC to develop a proposal in coordination with the GSE staff and then send the proposal for Board review.

ICANN should  review  the  overall  balance  of  stakeholder  representation  to  ensure  that appropriate consideration is given to all views, proportionally to their scope and relevance.

ICANN Board

TG2

• Future Challenges

• Feed in the accountability process

     14

• @Olivier Crépin-Leblond

• The ALAC Chair to informally get in touch with colleagues on other SOs and ACs about this issue

The roles and jurisdiction of the Ombudsman should be expanded. The ICANN website should provide a clear and simple way for the public to make complaints.

• Future Challenges WG to follow up on the expansion of the roles and jurisdiction of the Ombudsman

• Social Media WG to provide recommendations for community members to easily make complaints to the Ombudsman via the At-Large website

     25

To enhance ICANN's community effort on building a culture of Transparency and Accountability, as called for in the recommendations of ATRT2, oversight of the Board's decisions now requires an effective mechanism of checks and balances, capable of providing true multi-stakeholder oversight and effective remedies.

• Future Challenges

• Part of the Accountability Process

     26

Current policy management processes within ICANN are insufficient. ICANN must implement  a workable Policy Management Process System, available for use across the SO/ACs, in order to:
• enhance Knowledge Management,
• improve the effectiveness of all ICANN volunteer communities,
• improve cross-community policy-specific activity,
• enhance policy development metrics,
• facilitate multilingual engagement,
• create a taxonomy of policy categories,
• provide policy development history as an aid for newcomers.
