<br>
- our accountability measures do not transform Icann into a body that would be "above the laws", and that's a good sign.

- there is one stress test we do not cover, pending ccTLD adequate process, about delegation and revocations.

<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">ICANN Staff suggested we add a brief guide for readers who come up with their own risks/contingencies/scenarios. Adam Peake suggested we add a ‘Do-It-Yourself’ section explaining how anyone can use our method
to apply their own stress test to the existing and proposed accountability measures. </div>
