[CCWG-ACCT] CCWG-Accountability - V2.0 of comments on draft Bylaws - 24 hour Final Feedback by CCWG-Accountability

[Seun Ojedeji]

But ending with "...such authority.." Implies that ICANN does not have

why it needs be specific to government and not be generic enough to cover
all (as I understand is the intent of the proposed edit).
