<br>
Because one of the big problems identified in the past over ICANN accountability and transparency has been the fact that when a report is handed in, ICANN has decided that that group no longer exists.
<br>
<br>
And that has meant the ability to review or continue progress has been lost until years later when another group is formed.<br>
<br>
I have no doubt whatsoever that ICANN will push to have work stream 1 limited and to kill off work stream 2. The most effective way to do that would be for the Board to simply declare this working group's work completed.<br>

Can it do that? What would this group do in response if it did?<br>
