[CCWG-ACCT] Who is managing the lawyers and what have they beenasked to do?

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Dear Bruce,

I aws going to preface my reply with "I think I may have mentioned
this before,", but since you now mention it, why don't you ask your
outgoing agent-of-change CEO to let you review the correspondence
between ourselves (NA-NiC) and ICANN (him in particular) in this
regards (since around ICANN London)?


greetings, el
