In the interest of asking some fairly obvious questions, and to place them on record (since the Board would have had some time to mull these over the retreat): 1. Why is the Board reluctant to support the creation of a Single Member Community to enhance ICANN's accountability? 2. Does the Board believe the NTIA will support the proposal currently put forward for public comment by the CCWG? If it does not believe so, could the Board offer its reasons? 3. Is it the Board's position that there is no community support for the CCWG's proposal? If this is based on an evaluation of public comments, who has opposed it and why? As a participant in the LA CCWG meeting, I could not gather the Board's responses to these meetings. Grateful if they are addressed here, or in tonight's call.
