[CWG-Stewardship] Fwd: [CCWG-Accountability] Prior work on Accountability structures in 2012

[Greg Shatan]

Milton,

I think the report is actually quite instructive for the CWG.  While the
ASEP was examining current ICANN accountability structures, which largely
cover "ICANN as policy maker and enforcer," much of the substance of the
report deal with improving aspects of those structures that are not unique
to that subject matter.  Rather, they are issues of general applicability
to any accountability structure.  As such, they highlight a number of
issues we would need to deal with, e.g., when fleshing out the IAP.  As
such, I would not discourage anyone in the CWG from looking at this report
for what it's worth.
