Steve Crockers statement on behalf of the ICANN Board done at the ICANN Public Forum today:

LET ME GO TO THE STATEMENT RELATED TO THE PROPOSALS HERE.
SO WE HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL QUESTIONS REGARDING -- REQUESTING CLARIFICATION AS TO HOW ICANN WILL HANDLE RECEIPT OF THE PROPOSAL FROM THE ICG AND THE WORK STREAM ONE PROPOSAL FROM THE CCWG. WE HOPE THE FOLLOWING WILL BE HELPFUL.
NTIA IS EXPECTING COORDINATED PROPOSALS FROM BOTH GROUPS. THEY CANNOT ACT ON JUST ONE.
FURTHER, THEY EXPECT THE ICG PROPOSAL WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMS PROPOSED BY THE CCWG. WE ARE HEARTENED IN OUR OWN ACCOUNTABILITY CCWG'S PROPOSAL. SO I HOPE THAT'S HELPFUL. WE'VE TRIED TO LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE DISPARATE NUANCES OF WHAT OTHERWISE ARE ALL INTENDED TO AIM AT THE SAME TARGET.
