None of this matter particularly. The substantive issues are far more important than fussing with labels - unless the fussing is an attempt to undermine the limits on ICANN¹s remit - wether it is called ³mission² or ³scope" J.

Hello Kavouss,
Never ever at any organisation the " Mission 2 is replaced by" Scope of responsibility" they are entirely two different things
The mission is not being replaced by a Scope of Responsibility.
The Board is actually using a standard definition of mission.

³A mission statement is a statement which is used as a way of communicating the purpose of the organization. Although most of the time it will remain the same for a long period of time, it is not uncommon for organizations to update their mission statement and generally happens when an organization evolves. Mission statements are normally short and simple statements which outline what the organization's purpose is and are related to the specific sector an organization operates in.²
The CCWG draft mission does not meet that standard.
The Board¹s suggested mission statement does meet that standard.
That is why we have extracted the Scope of Responsibilities that defines ICANN¹s current scope within the broader longer term mission.
The Scope of Responsibilities are still fundamental bylaws that cannot be changed without community approval.
We have no objection to appropriate language in our bylaws that set out the rules of the organization. A mission though should be short and simple.
