Yet the GNSO can decide to do a PDP anyway despite being told that the
item is out of scope.  Just takes a higher threshold vote.

While I agree that the processes by which each of the ACSO makes its
recommendations and forms its advice are different, I do not think it
makes sense to compare them.  They are all part of the fabric of ICANN
and all developed in their own bottom-up manner.  I still believe that
parity of difference among the ACSO is an critical principle that should
influence what we do in the name of accountability.
