[CCWG-ACCT] Draft Agenda & Papers - WP1 Meeting #22 (28 July at 19h UTC)

I still believe that ACs should remain in an advisory role and not additionally have votes.  We seem to be fundamentally changing the roles of ICANN's constituent parts in ways that clearly have not been fully examined.   The SO's are charged with making policy and ACs are charged with advising the board in ICANN's existing structure, but we will be eliminating that barrier in many cases with this mechanism, with SO's giving away most of this power to ACs.   Even if we could find consensus in such a re-balancing and re-assignment of roles (and I'm not sure we can), I don't see how Congress or the NTIA could accept such a massive reformulation and subversion of the SO's interests.  Advisory Committees are "advisory" and we should not change that through this process, despite the crushing pressure to go along for a fast transition.
