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

[Mueller, Milton L]

Avri,
That was the point of my original message. The board claims to speak for the global public and to be able to divine its interest; we (CCWG) claim also to speak for the global public and to be able to divine its interest. 

This conflict will NOT be resolved by defining GPI. It is the _application_ of some conception of GPI to any particular issue that will be contentious. So let's accept the fact that we will be debating applications, not definitions. And the applications will be shaped by how the parties are affected.

> The Board does not define the GPI. We all work on understanding it together.
