[client com] Input requested regarding Paragraph 106 of CWG Proposal

[Flanagan, Sharon]

Dear All,

There is language in the CWG proposal at paragraph 106 regarding budget approvals that refers to:  “The community may reject the ICANN Budget based on perceived inconsistency with the purpose, mission and role set forth in ICANN’s Articles and Bylaws, the global public interest, the needs of ICANN stakeholders, financial stability or other matters of concern to the community.”

We’re requesting confirmation that the Mission of ICANN as set forth in the Bylaws is synonymous with the “purpose, mission and role” of ICANN as set forth in ICANN’s Articles and Bylaws for purposes of the CWG proposal.  The concern is that “purpose” and “role” are otherwise ambiguous and not defined, whereas the Mission is carefully articulated.

Thanks,
Sharon
