<p dir="ltr">Question(?)<br>
Does the ICANN Board see any of the CCWG's accountability recommendations as ultimately, possibly, be in conflict with it's contract with the NTIA?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Can we say that the implementation of CCWG recommendations for increased accountability of ICANN to its stakeholders as agreed at this juncture, in any way, cause conflict with ICANN's current contract with NTIA?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Although, the board's statement is not an unreasonable one.<br><br></p>
<p dir="ltr">The The Board is committed to working with the community to identify the portions of the CCWG-Accountability recommendations that can be implemented in the event that it is determined that ICANN's obligations to perform the IANA Functions will remain under contract with NTIA.¹"</p>
