[CCWG-ACCT] The Board's take on the Mission Statement

[Burr, Becky]

My question, Seun, is why that is not already covered by implementation of policy.  I surely do not have an objection to ICANN allocating and assigning names in the root zone consistent with applicable policy (e.g., New gTLD PDP, RFC 1591 in the case of ccTLDs), but absent that caveat, the addition seems potentially broad.

SO(Not Bruce): The former is an action item in relation to RZ, the later is means to the former. We may be concerned if just the former is preferred but from your pasted table, I see that both was accommodated.

I hope no one would argue that ICANN performs 2 main roles in relation to names;
1. Coordinate development and implementation of policies
2. Allocate names to the root zone

So I don't see anything wrong in trying to reflect its actual role if indeed the goal is to ensure clarity on role.
