[Wp3] Fwd: [CCWG-ACCT] Staff accountability

[Malcolm Hutty]

For the WP3 record, following my intervention in the WP3 session here in Paris.

Also I added a third topic: Bruce's suggestion that there be some form of 'Independent Objector' style person empowered to bring an IRP challenge on the grounds of incompatibility with the Bylaws.

I'm not endorsing these as fully developed ideas, but they are productive lines of enquiry with real potential to be come very welcome improvements following the development that comes from consideration and discussion.

(I'm not clear whether Mr Strickling was referring only to the development of gTLD policy or decisions more broadly, but that can be examined if the suggestion is considered).
