<p>Hi Rafik,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The way I understand it, we are only looking at whether the bylaws adequately reflect the principles in the final proposal, that the chartering organisations agreed to. This does not involve a substantive discussion itself, as that has been closed. However,
if anyone thinks that the articulation of the bylaws haven't quite captured the accountability-enhancing recommendations agreed upon in the final proposal, then this is the perfect place to raise these concerns.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best,<br>
Aarti<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am sharing here the announcement about public comment period for the new ICANN bylaws challenges, which is part of the implementation for the accountability proposals. as you know the the accountability work is still ongoing starting
with the so-called "workstream 2". it doesn't look like when you read the announcement, but this is another important step to implement accountability measures within ICANN.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif">Now that the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) and Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) proposals have been transmitted
to NTIA, one of the key implementation planning items is to amend the ICANN Bylaws to reflect the recommendations in those Proposals. The proposed draft of the New ICANN Bylaws was developed collaboratively by the ICANN legal team and the independent counsel
hired to advise the CCWG-Accountability and the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship). In developing the Draft New ICANN Bylaws, the attorneys consulted a Bylaws Coordination
Group populated with both community and Board members, as well as with the CWG-Stewardship and the CCWG-Accountability.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
