Purpose (Brief):

The CCWG-Accountability requests community feedback on its 2nd Draft Proposal of 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). Community input will help the CCWG-Accountability 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 of Directors during or after ICANN54.

The CCWG-Accountability seeks input and feedback on its 2nd Draft Report [PDF, 2.62 MB]. The 2nd Draft Report is also available section by section on the CCWG-Accountability's Wiki workspace at https://community.icann.org/x/pKs0Aw. Translations will also be posted on the Wiki workspace.

This 40-day comment period is an opportunity for the community to make its voice heard and to shape the outcome of the CCWG-Accountability work. The following questions provide a framework to assist with preparing and providing feedback to the CCWG-Accountability:

  • Do you agree that the CCWG-Accountability proposal enhances ICANN's accountability?
  • Are there elements of this proposal that would prevent you from approving it transmission to Chartering Organizations?
  • Does this proposal meet the requirements set forward by the CWG-Stewardship?
