Hi,

Not sure about buses, but I agree with the rest.  Given the Board's role
in the finalization of the Accountability WS1 plan, they are not, and
cannot be considered, ordinary participants in this process.

I think the Board members have three modes of interaction, at least:

- as individual participants who voices are as important as any other
individual voice, but whose opinions give us a clue as to what the Board
might do.
- as liaisons
- as members of the Board, where they have the power to mark our
recommendations with grades indicating their degree of acceptance. It is
the Board that is the gate on moving forward with any plan for ICANN
Accountabilty. These are the folks we had the Thursday meeting with.

I very much hope we can find a way to share making the decision on the
plan to be submitted to NTIA, because I think it is the only option at
this multistakeholder juncture.

Did anyone get the license plate number of the bus that "participated"
with me?

We can choose to treat the Board's intervention as "participation,"
but it did not have the feeling of participation to me.  It had the
feeling of the Board attempting to exercise its position of power.

   Hi,

   Even though I would have preferred seeing board's comment earlier
   than now. I believe what is written below is still order. I quote
   a section below that may need to be in bold as well.

   "....if we have views on that proposal, we should participate with
   the community."

   We are still in proposal development process and board is
   participating in the process.

       In preparation for our call today, I wanted to share with you
       the following that I pulled from the hearing that the Senate
       Commerce Committee held earlier this year:

       ***



       The Chairman:  Will the ICANN Board send a proposal to NTIA
       that lessens the Board’s power or authority?

       Mr. Chehade:  We will if the community and the stakeholders
       present us with a proposal.  We will give it to NTIA, and we
       committed already that we will not change the proposal, that
       if we have views on that proposal, we should participate with
       the community. Once that proposal comes from our stakeholders,
       we will pass it on to NTIA *as is*.

       ***

       I would read this as a commitment from ICANN and the Board.

       Paul
