I suggest that, as we have agreed that the FAQ is going to be a living document, that we do not delay its posting pending finalization of discussions on all questions .. As a living document, it's hard to have a complete perfect version all the time .. Additionally, the FAQ has to provide timely information and some questions are more urgent than others .. So my suggestion is that, as we continue discussion on the Board role, if the current answer is still unsatisfactory to some, we can proceed with other updates such as Q#19 on whether the target deadline has been delayed, and Q#22 on the relationship between the ICG work and the ICANN accountability process ..<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><span style='color:black'>If acceptable, I would hence suggest that ICG members skim through the track changes and identify any questions were there are still concerns or uncompleted discussions ..
