The discussions as to what is in WS1 and WS2 has been going for some
time and considerable work has been undertaken on WS1 issues
(further separated into WP1 and 2). <br>
<br>
I don't think there was ever agreement that WS1 (pre-transition)
issues should be minimal. Most of the community has been asking for
some pretty substantial accountbailty issues to be addressed or
committed to prior to the transition.<br>

<div>This comes as something out of the blue in the sense that

<div>Do you have some concrete proposals about the sorts of

<div>That would be very helpful input, as soon as possible.</div>

<div>I think the CCWG at its meeting in Istanbul will need to

<div><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">With almost
zero discussion on Work Stream 2, without even the
formation of work stream 2, it is highly undesirable
to think of such changes to the Accountability

activity or even Community empowerment over ICANN
management. </font></div>

well-considered and larger Accountability
environment such changes could be effected in
phases, in tune with a larger and clearer blue
print, but without even a beginning on such a blue
print, it is unwise to think of the changes as
proposed for WS1. These provisions, if included
pre-transition and in a rush, could prove counter
productive.</font></div>
