[CCWG-ACCT] Attempt to summarize discussion regarding Mission and Contract

[Greg Shatan]

I'm not looking for a technical definition -- rather a practical
definition.  Actually, I asked for examples, so a definition may not be
necessary, as long as the examples offer sufficient clarity.

It's important that when the CCWG/Commenters/SOs/ACs/etc. look at the word
"services" (or the word services plus some exemplars), they all see the
same thing.

Otherwise, we are like "The Six Blind Men and the Elephant" (apologies for
culturally-specific, archaic and politically incorrect reference; please
note as a counterbalance that I am a member of the CCWG-Accessibility,
seeking to improve web access (and ICANN access) for people with
disabilities).
