the CCWG-Accountability WS2 in Panama, but we delayed that because <br>
the Board had expressed some reservations about several of the recommendations.<br>
<br>
These concerns were addressed by providing implementation guidelines.<br>
<br>
Accordingly, I will be proposing that the ALAC endorse the report. <br>
However, I note that in our comment to the last Public Comment on the <br>
consolidated report we said "The recommendations formulated in the <br>
various sections of this report all have merit in advancing ICANN's <br>
transparency and accountability. However, taken together, they may <br>
amount to a daunting burden on ICANN Org and its volunteer community. <br>
For this reason  ALAC recommends that as the recommendations are <br>
implemented, ICANN takes an approach to minimize the impact and work <br>
associated with following these recommendations."<br>
<br>
I would suggest that we repeat this caveat in our ratification of the report.<br>
<br>
Subject to any comments received in the rest of this week (by <br>
Friday), I will open a BigPulse vote to ratify the <br>
CCWG-Accountability WS2 report next week.<br>
<br>
For your convenience, I am attaching the abbreviated report with the <br>
recommendations, the full report including all annexes and the <br>
implementation plan addressing the Board's concerns.<br>
