[CCWG-Accountability] Requirements for WS1

[Izumi Okutani]

Thank you Keith. This category is helpful and I see where your focus is.

I note we are now having discussions to cover all points comprehensively 
lead by the chairs and I just have one clarification question about what 
you have listed.

 > (c) review of board decisions

May I assume this review means when there are concerns raised for 
Board's decision, so *doesn't* apply for decisions where no issues are 
observed?

e.g., we usually have no issues with ICANN Board's decision on the 
approval of global number resources policies, so could we assume there 
is no need to go through the review if this continues to be the case in 
the future?


Thanks,
Izumi
