Agreed el. But there is a difference between the ccNSO members authorising the ccNSO to engage in the governance of soccer and FIFA accepting the input of the ccNSO regarding the governance of soccer :-) Cheers, Chris

Quite of of context from the bylaws:
"However, the ccNSO may also engage in other activities authorized by its members."

Hi Avri,
SOs are only empowered to make recommendations on the subject matter of the SO, i.e. only on gTLDs, ccTLDs or Numbers.
Agree.
We assrt our right to comment on other stuff, but there is no bylaws indication of this empowerment.
Who is we?
It is only the ACs that are empowered to advise on any issue having to do with ICANN.
Agreed. So that means that the non-contracting party bits of GNSO are only empowered to comment on gTLD matters, doesn’t it?
Assuming that is correct then it seems to me that in respect to 'ICANN’s general well being’ we should not draw a distinction between ACs and SOs. SOs and ACs are empowered to comment on 'ICANN’s general well being’ with authority/weight and bits of the SOs and ACs are entitled to comment (as is anyone as an individual) but not with the same authority and weight as comments on SOs and ACs as a whole.
Does that make sense?
Cheers,
Chris [...]
