[CCWG-ACCT] To be or not to be private sector led

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

While I have expressed my personal belief, as a participant, that is is
sufficient to say multistakeholder without the qualifiers at this point
in our development and in the development of the multistakeholder model,
my role in this group is not only a participant but an expert on ATRT. 

In that role I want to point out that the AOC does say;

4. DOC affirms its commitment to a _multi-stakeholder, __private sector
led, bottom-up policy_ development model  ...

8. ICANN affirms its commitments to: (a) maintain the capacity and
ability to coordinate the Internet DNS at the overall level and to work
for the maintenance of a single, interoperable Internet; (b) remain a
not for profit corporation, headquartered in the United States of
America with offices around the world to meet the needs of a global
community; and (c)_to operate as a multi-stakeholder, private sector led
organization_ with input from the public, for whose benefit ICANN shall
in all events act. ICANN is a private organization and nothing in this
Affirmation should be construed as control by any one entity.

Note:  In pulling these quotes I realized, for the the first time, that
while DOC is committed to the bottom-up nature, ICANN does not affirm
its commitment  to that notion in the AOC.
