Dear Colleagues, Please find attached a document drafted by the co-Chairs intended to provide baseline definitions for our work. It is designed to address some of the early questions we raised such as to whom should Icann be accountable ? What is the purpose of Icann's accountability ? or what is accountability ? We provide the document for your reading before the meeting but I will introduce the document during our call tomorrow, and comments will be welcome during the call or after on this email thread. We are well aware of the importance of the choice of words in the definitions and of their consequences for guiding the work of our group going forward. This document is a strawman, so feedback in the form of proposed edits will be much appreciated. Best, -- ***************************** Mathieu WEILL AFNIC - directeur général Tél: +33 1 39 30 83 06 mathieu.weill@afnic.fr Twitter : @mathieuweill *****************************
