Re: [CCWG-ACCT] got some lawyerly answers on membership structure

All, I would not like to see the Board's duty as stewards of the public trust -- exercising reasonable care, inquisitive, ... the strictest standard of duty of care in American law -- reduced to the pursuit of quarterly profits maximization prevalent in for-profit Boards.

ICANN’s Board of Directors would become accountable to the community, in much the same way that the Boards of publicly-traded companies are ultimately accountable to their shareholders.

I suggest our standards are, by initial design, higher than the likeness proposed. Eric Brunner-Williams Eugene, Oregon
