[CCWG-ACCT] Personal thoughts on membership

[Adebunmi AKINBO]

Bruce,
I agree with your presentation.

However, you have exposed the flaw in ICANN Structure, rather than
addressing it.
Membership would address the flaw.

Thus, would it not be better to create the new ICANN addressing flaws?

Regards.
