Keith Drazek will continue to lead Steve DelBianco: issues for stress test. 4 refer to what happens if ICANN tried to exceed its limited technical mandate. Responses are either proscriptive or restraining. Independent review will need to refer to a standard against which to decide if ICANN has exceeded its mandate. The review process may be the strongest mechanism CCWG creates. Will share the 4 relevant stress tests. Noted concern if the community could expand ICANN's mandate by consensus. Suggestion that certain aspects should be frozen in the bylaws, with great care to allow for evolution, but to cast core principles in stone. Mission statement. The list of commitments reflect the list found in ICANN's missions, bylaws, AoC and ideas suggested in CCWG. But the list should be finite enough to allow the organization to operate, but enough to make our expectations of organization clear. No attempt being made by WP2 to redefine ICANN mission and core values. But to capture the values in a more comprehensive way. So ICANN's behavior can be measured against it. Advisors, the articles of incorporation are limited in scope. The state requires ICANN to maintain these documents, believe they have not been changed to date. Some matters to do with the structure of the organizations, such as membership, might require a modification. Constraining the purpose of the organization in the articles of incorporation may worth looking at and protecting. Concern about possible limitation in the text about the consensus policies - ongoing for the group Action items Staff: mailing lists for the 4 sub-working groups Keith Drazek: will begin a cross-reference of the Mission/Values/Powers and the Articles All groups/volunteers: drafting should be complete by 19 March Becky Burr: to check leadership of the 4 sub-groups correct and agreed by the individuals concerned END Kind regards, Brenda
