Even before the PDP really gets off the ground it is subject to review by ICANN’s General Counsel as to whether or not it is within ICANN’s Mission. That is a critical structural safeguard against scope creep that distinguishes a PDP from GAC Advice.
Yet the GNSO can decide to do a PDP anyway despite being told that the item is out of scope. Just takes a higher threshold vote. While I agree that the processes by which each of the ACSO makes its recommendations and forms its advice are different, I do not think it makes sense to compare them. They are all part of the fabric of ICANN and all developed in their own bottom-up manner. I still believe that parity of difference among the ACSO is an critical principle that should influence what we do in the name of accountability. avri --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
