[CCWG-ACCT] Lawyers Comments and Concerns re CCWG Comment - Version 2

[Seun Ojedeji]

Fair enough, if it's not too late to update the CCWG comment to the PC then
I suggest the recommendation update be done to reflect the needful.
Otherwise, we could just leave as it is and rely on comments that has
already been made by other organisations (like the IAB) to do the fix. I
prefer the former.
