RZERC recommendations should be considered additional information that the ICANN Board may use to make their decisions on the proposed changes. RZERC recommendations are not intended to be a substitute for recommendations/comments made by the organizations/groups that designate RZERC members.

while I think I understand where you're coming from, this text is not
covering procedures internal to RZERC. The current charter does not
constrain any existing AC/SO/others in its rights or duties, whereas the
first sentence above would generate additional opportunities for
such those entities not already in an advisory position (the truism
that anybody might write to the ICANN Board anytime anyway set aside).
Also, the instrument of minority statements is already in the draft.
The second sentence above turns the RZERC mission upside down by
qualifying RZERC output "additional information". And again,
the internal procedures cannot guide the ICANN Board which
"additional information" it may or may not use.

I do  not agree with this proposed change.
