[CCWG-ACCT] way forward and minority statements

[Jordan Carter]

Nope, I don't disagree - quite the opposite in respect of the way ICANN
operates as an organisation. And so I hope that the work that has recently
begun in working out how best to carry those obligations into ICANN's
framework comes to a successful conclusion.

The legal analysis we have is that there is no material change to ICANN's
obligations arising from the end of the IANA functions contract (at least,
that is how I read it).

So - doing something now, if it is very light touch, is OK - but I believe
it is a "nice to have" for Work Stream 1 rather than a necessity given the
practical impact is so limited.

Whether or not it happens WS1, 2 or more organically, I look forward to the
commitment being undertaken appropriately when it happens -which I think it
both should, and will.

Ever yours,

Jordan
