[CCWG-ACCT] Recommendation 11, 2/3 board threshold, GAC consensus, and finishing

I'd like to ask a simple question.

Aside from members of the GAC, is there any affirmative support for the 2/3
threshold?  In other words, does any member or participant think that this
is a good idea, or enhances ICANN's accountability, or corrects a
problem/deficiency in the Bylaws, or is needed for the transition? How
about any chartering organization or constituent part of a chartering
organization?

I'm not asking about the value of compromise, or the effect (or lack
thereof) of the change, or whether it's something you can live with.  I'm
asking about affirmative support.
