Have we discussed the inner checks and balances within ICANN at all? While the GDD will be looking to make a lot of money from the gTLD program, the compliance and oversight functions, as well as the policy making functions may be easily in conflict with financial objectives of the Corporation.

Another question which came up in the discussion this afternoon, is the question of "following the money" - what does economic influence translate into in terms of power within ICANN, and how is the CCWG taking account of this?
It's an important question that I am not sure we've spent much time on yet.

On process:
1. What should be the role of advisors? Should they offer advice on the basis of unanimity or "rough consensus", or just provide input independently?
2. Should advisors restrict their role to responding to questions that have been flagged by the CCWG and routed through the chairs? Or should they/ can they flag issues they feel are important - weighed from their expertise.
On substance:
1. How is the accountability process taking stock of the evolving "global internet community", given that it is going to be driven by numbers from the developing world?
2. Taking off from Q1, is the CCWG evaluating the future capacity of ICANN to be truly representative in the years to come?
