[CCWG-ACCT] Please review regarding IAB comments on Mission Statement

[Nigel Roberts]

Thank you for the expected excoriation, as foreseen.

It has everthing to do with the accountability changes required for the 
transition.

Paul's take on things, predictability, is that ICANN is, to use his 
words 'a primary head of power'.

I disagree, and have asked for any legal foundation for this. Weinstein 
was quoted as a source of that authority which it isn't.

The question remains, that once the apparent authority of NTIA has gone, 
what legal authority will ICANN have to affect the business, say, of any 
ccTLD .. and inextricably bound with authority, the obverse side of the 
coin is is what obligations will ICANN owe, and will it be accountable 
for them.
