According to UK's Mark Carvell: "At its meeting in Marrakech, the GAC [Governmental Advisory Committee] has several open sessions on 6 and 8 March to discuss the CCWG proposal and prepare its response as Chartering Organisation. One session on the 8th is specifically focussed on governmental participation in the empowered community. It is relevant to be reminded in the context of the Rec 11 carve out that in their responses to the CCWG third proposal, several governments have stated that they will support solely an advisory role and would not support a decisional voting role for the GAC. The GAC session at 16:00 on the 8th is allocated to finalising the GAC response as Chartering Organisation to the CCWG and the Supplementary Report. I understand that this is an open session.
"Government ministers and senior officials will discuss the Accountability proposal and the role of governments in two open sessions at the biennial ICANN High Level Governmental Meeting which will be hosted by the Moroccan Digital Economy Minister H.E.M, Moulay Hafid Elalamy:
"7 March: 10.15-11:30: Session 1: IANA Stewardship Transition Outcomes - Introduction by Mr. Thomas Schneider, Chair of the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) - Presentation by Mr. Fadi Chehade, CEO and President of ICANN - Presentation by Mr. Larry Strickling, Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information and Administrator, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), US Department of Commerce. - Open Floor and exchange of Views.
"7 March: 11.45-13:15: Session 2: Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governments role in the new ICANN framework - Introduction by Mr. Thomas Schneider, GAC Chair on the role of governments in the ICANN and the importance of the contribution of public policy to ICANN policy development processes. - Presentation by Mr. Steve Crocker, President of the ICANN Board - Presentation by the Co-Chairs of the CCWG Accountability on the Multi-stakeholder model - Open Floor and exchange of Views focused on ICANN and the role of Government."
