CCWG-Accountability WS2 Session

CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Plenary at ICANN 61 – Puerto Rico – All day Friday 9 March starting at 08:30 Local – Approval of the integrated report of all recommendations for public consultation.

The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 is expecting to review the integrated report of all its recommendations at its plenary at ICANN 61. Once approved this final report will be published for public comment but will only be seeking input on the resolution of any inconsistencies between the various individual report recommendations.

As a part of Work Stream 1, the CCWG-Accountability defined areas where further accountability discussions needed to take place. These discussions, called Work Stream 2, have been underway since June 2016. The purpose of Work Stream 2 is to disseminate the new accountability principles into several key parts of ICANN’s day-to-day operations and to develop a culture of accountability across the ICANN Community, Organization, and Board.
It is in this context that the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 has developed recommendations in all of the following areas which will be reviewed at its plenary meeting during ICANN 61:
• Diversity
• Guidelines for Good Faith Conduct
• Human Rights
• Jurisdiction
• Ombudsman
• SO/AC Accountability
• Staff Accountability
• Transparency

Once the public consultation on its integrated report is completed the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 will prepare a final version of the integrated report for ICANN 62 which will complete the work of the CCWG-Accountability.

Note: It is important to note that the IRP IOT was included as part of WS2 for administrative simplicity but is in fact independent of WS2. Current expectations are that the IRP IOT will continue beyond the scheduled completion date for WS2 of June 2018.
