hi,

I was not able to open what I received, but I was able to pull it from the archive.

Re 9.1 (e)

"
To what extent has ICANN Staff been bound its decision-making by the ICANn Policy Development Process? 
"
"
To what extent has ICANN Staff been accountable in its decision-making? 
"

One of the biggest questions over the years has been a possible appearance of ICANN Staff making independent decision on policy matters that do no bear direct or even indirect resemblance to the Policy decisions made in the policy development process.  sometime these appear to some people as to run counter to previous Policy Decisions, while in other case it may appear that they are making policy decisions on issues that have not yet been subjected to the PDP.

So The original question asked whether ICANN Staff appeared as if it accepted Community Policy Development processes as binding on its activities.  And in deviating, if indeed there are deviations, to what extent does ICANN staff appear to be accountable to the ICANN Policy Development Process.


I also notice that you eliminated the last question I added:

"
Other
 

1.     Are there other questions we should be asking consistent with the mandate of the ATRT? What are these questions?  How would you answer these questions?
"

Is this problematic?

I think it makes sense to ask the community whether there are questions they think need to be asked that we have overlooked.

thanks
