accountability contained in the CCWG-Accountability's 2nd Draft Proposal. We endorse the goal of enforceability of these accountability mechanisms, and we believe that it is possible to implement the key elements of the proposal. We want to work together to
achieve the elements of the proposal within the community's timeline while meeting the <abbr title="US National Telecommunications and Information Agency" style="box-sizing: border-box; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); cursor: help; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s; transition: all 0.2s;" class="">NTIA</abbr> requirements.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem;" class=""><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);" class="">We have heard some concerns from the community regarding the Board's intent in presenting new ideas for the CCWG's consideration. The contributions
by the Board are not meant to be a "counter proposal," but rather as suggestions for consideration to build upon the CCWG's impressive work. We encourage the community to read not only ours, but <a href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-ccwg-accountability-03aug15/" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;" class="">all
comments submitted</a>to the public comment forum.

engagement throughout this significant process. This is an important discussion for the entire community as it reaches consensus, and we hope to continue this dialogue in Los Angeles later this month at the <a href="http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2015-September/005301.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;" class="">CCWG-Accountability
