[CCWG-ACCT] Board comments on the Mission statement)

[Paul Rosenzweig]

I agree with Malcolm.  I continue to be very troubled that we cannot put into words this very fundamental concept.  All agree there are some limited circumstances when ICANN can and should be allowed to impose restrictions on activity through contract.   All agree that there are many other circumstances in which that sort of action by ICANN would be illegitimate.  The Board's proposal seems to leave the question open to later interpretation and for that reason I don't favor it -- but I also think it is imperative that some definitional language be hammered out .... without it the entire premise of IRP review and a limited ICANN mission founders.
