I posted this at CircleID and wanted to share. This post mentions the BC comments on accountability.</div>

As we arrived in Hollywood -- the land of happy endings -- ICANN had just given us cause to hope that the ICANN accountability process might get its own Hollywood ending, despite a fitful start. As one who's been critical of ICANN management's heavy-handed
attempts to control the accountability process, it's only appropriate to give credit where credit is due. In accepting the community's strenuous -- and nearly unanimous -- calls for a cross-community working group to lead the process of improving ICANN's accountability
mechanisms, ICANN management says it's now prepared to follow the community's lead, rather than dictating and constraining it. </p>
