The rationale and the scope of the request don’t really fit together. By definition, the request only includes (1) accounting books and records and (2) meeting minutes for the Board and its committees. “Accounting books and records” is not likely to be construed broadly. Financial records, ledgers, bank statements, financial statements and other similar stuff is good for looking for financial shenanigans. May not be worth much here. Minutes is (are?) also fairly specific. Neither category provides an obvious or self-explanatory path to getting anything submitted by ISOC, PIR or Ethos, or any internal ICANN documents that are not obviously financial accounting documents. While it could still be a worthwhile request, its limited scope should be understood. I would also like to know who we are really supporting if we support this. Maybe Jonathan is wrong and this is merely a sincere, self-generated concern of the RIRs. Or maybe there is another organization behind this. If it’s the latter, I’d like to know who we’re getting in bed with, so to speak. Greg On Fri, Jan 3, 2020 at 11:20 AM Marita Moll <mmoll@ca.inter.net> wrote:

It does make our lives easier. We can now simply back up the rationale of the NRO action and request that ICANN give serious attention to the public interest consequences of the transfer.

I suspect, from reading how carefully this is worded, that EFF is behind this. Very interesting tactic.

Thanks Christopher.
Unless I missed something, this is a rather historic action. It is the FIRST time the accountability powers given to the ICANN community with its new Bylaws have been used in a proactive way, and by the part of the ICANN Community least expected to intervene when not directly impacted.
