[CCWG-ACCT] CCWG - Draft Update document for CCWG call

A few quick comments, since that's all there's time for under this plan.  I
was only able to review my prior comments against this draft; no time for a
full read.

1. Page 11: Petition Process: Is it clear that any individual, regardless
of affiliation can begin a petition in any AC/SO for every power? Even
removing that AC/SO's appointed director? For example, can Justin Bieber
start a petition in the GNSO to remove Bruce Tonkin?  If that is what we
agreed to, never mind.  It just strikes me as odd, and I haven't seen it
expressed this way before. (I think we used the passive voice before, which
did not identify the "actor" or any limitation on their identity or
affiliation.)

2. Page 13: Enforcement Section:  This section states that the Community
has two options -- (1) mediation/IRP or (2) remove entire Board.  This is
wrong.  The Community also has the option to remove some directors and
leave others in place, if the Community beleved that would be sufficient to
change the outcome.  This would be less disruptive than total recall.  I'm
concerned that failing to mention this option makes our proposal look too
"nuclear" and incapable of nuance.

3. Page 14-15: There are inconsistent descriptions of the ICANN Bylaws.
The one at the top of page 14 says that "ICANN Bylaws describe how power is
exercised in ICANN...." That might be good if we were engaging in social
theory (in which case, the word "hegemony" needs to appear at least once in
our document), but we just need a generic description of the purpose of
bylaws.  The middle of page 15 contains just a description which should be
used here as well.

4. Page 22: Draft Bylaw on Human Rights.  I don't understand why there is
underlining here.  It should be removed.

Finally, I generally support the treatment of the items that are in flux,
but I am hopeful that at least one of them can be "un-fluxed" before this
is published....
