<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Good start. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I would propose the following
modifications. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Add a new

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b>9 ½ Can I submit my own
proposal for how the IANA transition should take place? <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>You can, but the ICG is not authorized to pick and choose
among competing proposals. That would centralize the authority over the IANA
transition in ICG’s hands, and the general preference is for a bottom up,
consensual process. If you submit a proposal directly to the ICG without
participating in the processes convened by the operational communities, all the
ICG can do is forward that proposal to the relevant OCs. If you think your
ideas have been ignored or not fairly treated in the OC proposal development
process, you can express this view directly to the ICG or in the public comment
period. But the ICG cannot give these objections any weight if the person made
no effort to participate in the operational community-convened process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>[MI]: Noted .. will add it to
the new version that is to be circulated shortly .. Although, personally, I
would be reluctant to leave the last sentence "</span>But the ICG cannot
give these objections any weight if the person made no effort to participate in

.. I think it's a bit negative and I don't think it adds .. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On <b>Question 14</b>, I found the answer not very
meaningful. I would propose the following alternative language: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>ICG is closely following <a
href="https://community.icann.org/category/accountability">ICANN Accountability
Process</a>. After receiving consensus proposals from the operational
communities, ICG will conduct an analysis of their overall implications for
ICANN accountability. If there are gaps or problems, ICG will check to see
whether these gaps are filled by the results of the ICANN enhanced
accountability process. If they are not, ICG will return the proposals to the
relevant operational community(ies) for amendment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>[MI]: Happy to replace with your
proposed language .. Looking forward to other reactions as this is one of the
few questions we did not discuss thoroughly and have no agreed position on ..<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On <b>Question 15</b>, “How is ICG reaching
out?” I would delete the language “ICG members <s>have
participated in the </s><a

<p class=MsoNormal>If someone asks that question now they don’t care what

<p class=MsoNormal>Please find attached, and in dropbox, a draft FAQ we
(Martin, Patrik, Mohamed, Alissa & myself) have prepared to be discussed on
the upcoming call ..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This is supposed to be a living document .. So the
target is to come up with an initial agreed version rather than an exhaustive
complete one ..<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Looking forward to receiving your feedback over email and/or
