[CCWG-Accountability] Related work on ICANN's Public Interest

[Kavouss Arasteh]

Dear All,
Tks for comments
However, the issue of public interests goes beyound what is claimed to be
by ICANN
We need to put the above as some , among several other options and
possibilities.
We leave it to comments from CCWG and then in the hand of Working Group II
to consider, explore and further develop the matter
Regards
Kavouss
