Call for Volunteers: Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN 
Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) Implementation and Work Stream 2
25 March 2016
WHAT IS THE CCWG-ACCOUNTABILITY?
In December 2014, the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN 
Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) was formed to deliver proposals that would 
enhance ICANN's accountability towards all stakeholders.

The work of the CCWG-Accountability is carried out in two Work Streams:
Work Stream 1: focused on mechanisms enhancing ICANN accountability that must 
be in place or committed to within the time frame of the IANA Stewardship 
Transition; 
Work Stream 2: focused on addressing accountability topics for which a timeline 
for developing solutions and full implementation may extend beyond the IANA 
Stewardship Transition. 
WHAT IS THE CCWG-ACCOUNTABILITY FOCUSED ON?
With the completion of the Work Stream 1 report and delivery to NTIA in March 
2016, work is beginning on the implementation of the Work Stream 1 
recommendations, followed by the development of a Work Stream 2 report. Work 
Stream 2 items are listed in Annex 12 of the CCWG-Accountability report [PDF, 
6.03 MB], as follows:
Considering improvements to ICANN's standards for diversity 
Focused efforts to enhance ICANN's transparency 
Improving and clarifying expectations of ICANN staff accountability 
Enhancing the accountability of ICANN's Supporting Organizations and Advisory 
Committees 
Addressing jurisdiction-related questions, focused on applicable law for 
contracts and dispute settlements 
Developing a Framework of Interpretation for ICANN's Human Rights commitment 
and proposed draft Bylaw (more information in Annex 5 of the Work Stream 1 
Report) 
Considering enhancements to the Ombudsman's role and function 
INTERESTED IN JOINING THE EFFORT?
The CCWG-Accountability is open to anyone who wishes to join, and the group 
welcomes all interested stakeholders to join in this next phase.

There are two ways to join the CCWG-Accountability:
Individual Participants – Participants are expected to actively contribute to 
mailing list conversations as well as meetings. Each potential participate will 
be required to provide a Statement of Interest (SOI) before being designated as 
an individual participant and have posting rights to the mailing list. It is 
anticipated that participants will provide essential input to the process. 
Mailing list observers – for those who are only interested in monitoring the 
exchanges of the CCWG-Accountability. Observers are offered read-only access to 
the mailing list. At any point in time, a mailing list observer can join the 
CCWG as a participant simply by informing ICANN staff and submitting a SOI. 
The CCWG-Accountability operates in a fully open and transparent manner, and 
all mailing list exchanges are publicly archived. It should be noted that all 
participants are responsible for abiding by ICANN's Expected Standards for 
Behavior.

If you'd like to join the CCWG-Accountability efforts on Implementation and 
Work Stream 2, please send a note to acct-staff[at]icann.org.
WHEN IS THE NEXT MEETING?
The next meeting of the CCWG-Accountability will take place on Tuesday, 5 April 
from 19:00-21:00 UTC to review draft Bylaw language as a part of implementation 
of Work Stream 1.

The group anticipates finalizing discussions on the draft Bylaws in mid-April. 
After these discussions are completed, the group will focus on the inventory of 
Work Stream 2 items.
