[CCWG-ACCT] Agenda for Paris

[Carlos Raúl Gutiérrez]

Kieren,

reading the report published in the ICANN website  I had the feeling 
only the panel could have redacted the final document. Is ii true any 
party can redact put whatever they want to redact out of it? Who 
redacted the DCA sections? also ICANN staff?

Thank you
