[CCWG-ACCT] Legal Committee and WS2 budget - new proposal

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hello Mathieu,

The attached document indicated that decision will be handled based on case
by case basis which is fine.

However I think sub-bullet 1 of item 2 on page 6 is not explicit about
decision making process. I like to suggest that when independent council is
required, the legal committee should rather recommend (not decide on
behalf) to the group as it should be the decision of the CCWG-ACT to make.
Such recommendation should also include adequate rationale on why external
council is preferred over ICANN legal staff.

Regards

Sent from my LG G4
Kindly excuse brevity and typos
