[ALAC] Accountability - Changes

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

Hello all,

a follow-up.

Things have been going rather slowly on the ICANN accountability front.
The Cross Community Working Group on ICANN Accountability is still not
formed. There was an initial proposal that there be 7 people from
At-Large to be selected to be on the cross community working group.

Now the next steps have been published:
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-14-en
With an info-graphic showing:

As a result, the Cross "Community Working Group on ICANN Accountability
& Governance" could be filled with as many people as we wish it to be,
or as many as the charter will allow - and so far the proposal is that
the Board writes the CCWG's Charter. There will also need to be a
selection of 1 participant from each ICANN SO & AC & SG. - so our
already formed Selection Committee are definitely going to need to make
a selection of at least 1 person to go on the "ICANN Accountability &
Governance Coordination Group". But please wait until a call for
candidates is sent out. We cannot just collect names of applicants if we
don't know what those applicants are going to apply for!

I have heard some feedback from many sources in the past few days. Some
consider this structure to be too complex. Some are concerned that this
proposal was made, with no possibility of community feedback. So this
might not be the last version of the system that will be put in place.
It certainly appears to be a laborious process to get the ball rolling
on this.

Kindest regards,

Olivier
