There will be multiple opportunities for Q&A throughout the session.
Background The CCWG-Accountability is expected to deliver proposals that would enhance ICANN’s accountability towards all stakeholders. Work Stream 2 was extended for all of fiscal year 2018 at ICANN59, and is currently on track to complete the project by June 2018. The CCWG-Accountability must begin writing its final Report after ICANN60 and be prepared to publish it for a public consultation by ICANN61. This would allow it to finalize its report for Chartering Organizations' approval by ICANN62 in June 2018.
