[CCWG-ACCT] Draft Agenda & Papers - WP1 Meeting #22 (28 July at 19h UTC)

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

By the same token, in the tradional understanding of ICANN, SOs are only
empowered to make recommendations on the subject matter of the SO, i.e.
only on gTLDs, ccTLDs or Numbers.  We assrt our right to comment on
other stuff, but there is no bylaws indication of this empowerment.

It is only the ACs that are empowered to advise on any issue having to
do with ICANN.

Should we limit the votes of SOss if these votes are not in their
specific areas of responsibility?

The issues that we may be voting on are about the general well being of
ICANN. And to me that seems to be equally in the bailiwick of all the ACSO.

Note I do not speak for NCSG in the CCWG, Robin does.
