[CCWG-ACCT] Third Draft Proposal

[Chris Disspain]

Hi Holly, Hi Rosemary,

Thank you for this important clarification. Chairing a disparate group of ICANN community members and attempting to guide them to consensus is hard enough without valuable and relevant input being characterised as criticism. At this stage in the process it is important that all input is treated with respect. Assumptions made about motives etc really should be put aside and comments should be judged on their merits rather than against the time line. Clarity before the by-law drafting process starts is critical IMO.


Cheers,

Our intent was simply to help to assure that the Final Proposal is the highest quality reflection of the solid efforts of the CCWG to date by pointing out where we thought some clarification would be helpful to an unfamiliar reader and to the eventual bylaw drafting effort.  We sent the comments to CCWG in the interests of transparency so that the group is aware of our suggestions for the Final Report and/or implementation phase.  We do not view our comments as suggesting any changes in policy approach.   We are sorry to hear that our comments have been taken by some to criticize the work of the CCWG, Co-Chairs and Staff.  That was in no way our intent.
