All,

Here's a bullet point summary of key CCWG developments in Dublin.

Summary: It was a constructive week and the path forward to consensus is now clear. Some challenges and risks exist, but they appear manageable.  The current target date for delivery of a proposal to NTIA is late January. Updated timeline is attached.

I welcome any additions or clarifications from Kavouss.

*       Enhancing ICANN Accountability CCWG

o   Significant progress during the week led to a breakthrough.
o   The CCWG transitioned away from a "Sole Member" framework.
o   The CCWG rejected the ICANN Board's "MEM" counter-proposal.
o   The ICANN Board conceded a red-line position against a Sole Designator enforceability mechanism.
o   The CCWG and ICANN Board reached consensus on Sole Designator model.
o   The new timeline points to delivery of a final recommendation to NTIA by late January.
o   A 30-day public comment period will open in mid-November.
o   Possible need for an intercessional meeting in mid-January.
o   Intense work over the next 3 months to meet very aggressive timeline.


*         Remaining Challenges


o   Role of the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) in the community empowerment mechanism
o   Resolution of Stress-Test 18
o   Transparency enhancements - with the move from Sole Member to Sole Designator enforceability, the requirement for enhanced transparency will be moved from WS-2 to WS-1. Details need to be fleshed out.
o   Chartering Organization Approval - Six Supporting Organizations (SO) and Advisory Committees (AC) will have to approve on a very compressed and aggressive timeline.

Happy to answer any questions.

Keith
