[CCWG-ACCT] An mplication of accountability models being discussed

[Nigel Roberts]

How about adding

'unreasonably restricting directors access to corporate records and 
depriving directors of rights afforded them by law'

'imposing unreasonable requirements . . .'

'promulgating rules not adopted by the board by ad hoc groups of 
functionaries'

'depriving directors of inspection rights afforded them by law'

'requiring burdensome review' before permitting a director to enforce 
his (legal) inspection rights

These are not my words but are taken from the words of the Hon. Dzintra 
Janavs, in granting the peremptory writ of mandate against ICANN in 
Auerbach -v- ICANN to force ICANN to comply with the applicable 
California law.


ICANN is, without doubt, better than it was in 2002.  But I personally 
will not be satisfied with sticking-plaster accountability mechanisms.  
Otherwise, why should there need to be any form accountability 
mechanisms in the United States' constitituion, if you trust the current 
incumbents to do the right thing.
