Very valid points Anne. We will put these items  - like the others we received - on the list of items we need to consider in our next leadership call and our CCWG AP call. In the meantime we will try to get more legal clarity about the points you raised in this email.

Thank you!

On page 10 of the current draft, there is a bullet point called “On-going costs only in Mechanism A – Management and support of ICANN’s accountability mechanisms triggered by the grant distribution activity (if any.)”

On the other hand, I don’t know that the EC will readily accept amending the ByLaws for purposes of getting the grant-making outside the EC process.   This is especially true in that all the Accountability work was done in CCWGs in two lengthy work-streams.   I apologize if this was previously discussed by the CCWG – doing my best to catch up.
