Dear Roger and all, Chartering organisations in this context are the ICANN Supporting Organisations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs), that may participate in the Accountability CCWG. The SOs are the three specialised advisory bodies that advise ICANN Board of Directors on issues related to Domain names (GNSO and CCNSO) and IP addresses (ASO). An Advisory Committee, as defined by ICANN, is a formal advisory body made up by representatives from the Internet Community to advise ICANN on a particular issue or policy area. Several are mandated by ICANN Bylaws and others are created as needed. Thank you. Kind regards, Athina Fragkouli, RIPE NCC On 19/11/14 08:48, Roger Jørgensen wrote:

Dear colleagues,
Following my presentation to the Cooperation Working Group last Thursday, 6 November, on the process to enhance ICANN accountability, the Enhancing ICANN Accountability Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) has now published a Draft Charter: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/49359098/Enhancing%20ICANN%... <snip>
Hello,
Good to see this issue on accountability being addresses somewhere.
One question as a start, "chartering organization", who are they? and how are they appointed or selected? Does it involved all that has some involvement with ICANN or just from the RIR side?
