[CCWG-ACCT] FW: Fwd: FW: ICANN Board Comments on Third CCWG-Accountability Draft Proposal on Work Stream 1 Recommendations

I agree with Milton and Paul.
What especially strikes me is that among the issues that have been
tackled as something that might be not in GPI are human rights and
transparency. I have difficulties to imagine a grounded justification on
how these requirements contradict GPI. Rather than GPI judgement, this
looks as, quoting Paul, “the judgment of 2/3rd of the Board.” Really, a
textbook example on the need for accountability.
And, yes + 1 to Paul and James: even if nothing  in the board comments
indicates that the proposal won't be submitted without modification, 
the reference to GPI brings the question of processes outlined in the
charter and calls for negotiations. So it's not in the comments, it's in
the charter and in the board's resolution.
Best regards
Tatiana Tropina
