Daniel:

I would take a slightly softer tone than yours, as we do not wish to 
suggest that the ICANN accountability work has no relevance to ours.  We 
will need to coordinate with that group as part of our work.  We need to 
be very clear, however, that we are not driving that work and do not 
control its agendas or timelines and therefore are not in position to 
address it in any substantive way.
