[CCWG-ACCT] Answers to some common questions being encountered by the ICANN staff

[Bruce Tonkin]

Hello Sam,


>>   there would be important lessons for ICANN to learn with regard to an ongoing strategy of global internet governance education. 

Agreed.   There has been a tendency at times to over simplify with the result that ICANN’s role appears far broader than it actually is.   The work the CCWG did on more clearly defining ICANN’s narrow mission helps – but it does need to be translated into simple messages going forward.   There is still a perception that control of ICANN equals control of the Internet.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
