[CWG-Stewardship] A liaison from the Board to CWG

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hi,

Perhaps it's good to note that what ICANN does in gTLD land is normal
organisation operation that is done at most cctld and also at every RIR as
I will liken gTLD to a typical RIR/CCs in this context. So regulating in
that sense may be normal although "coordinating" is what I prefer as a
choice of word.

Whatever word we use in describing ICANN's role may not matter much. What
may be important is to determine how much of those activities has
significant community process embedded in it; which is largely in the CCWG
scope to ensure.

Cheers!
