[CCWG-ACCT] [ccTLDcommunity] Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) - Input Needed on its Proposed Accountability Enhancements (Work Stream 1)

Tue May 5 12:47:02 UTC 2015

Dear All,
I believe this would be the best time to evaluate and postulate a change or
request for time to make any correction or addition.
Its better to make the needed input rather than call the work a rubbish.
If it matters to all, its right to make effect.
-Akinbo.
