[CWG-Stewardship] [client com] Signatory to the Community Agreement

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hello,

Thanks for the share, looking at one of the 2 cons of option 2l;
*"Involves some challenges for ICANN toact as the licensee and also as the
representative of the Names Community under the Community Agreement*."

As i understand the above, there is no legal barrier if ICANN signs? if
that is the case then i think what would then be important is to make sure
that CCG members are indeed those selected by the names community.
Otherwise it may be good to know what "challenges" is referred to above.

Ultimately the entity that signs only commits to support and be responsible
for whoever is acting, this is why i believe ICANN signing may be more
appropriate and also for obvious reasons stated in the pro.

As per how to select members of CCG, a suggestion would be to create a
CWG-like group (i.e in composition) and then have the group select three
co-chairs amongst themselves who then automatically becomes members of the
CCG. The charter of that group can be developed to ensure that the act of
the co-chairs is based on the consensus view of the group (just like we
have in the current cwg).

Regards
