Revised Text on Question about ICG and ICANN board
What is the role of the ICANN board in preparing the proposal? The ICG is independent of the ICANN board. The board is represented on the ICG by two liaisons, who are there to provide information about the IANA functions and to keep the board and ICG informed about the implications of the transition. Like any other member of the community, the ICANN board can submit public comments to the ICG about the final proposal. Consistent with U.S. federal government procurement rules, the NTIA needs to have the final proposal submitted to it by the ICANN board, but the board is not authorized to modify or approve the ICG's proposal. When the ICG submits its final proposal to ICANN, it will also be released to the general public and to NTIA as well. Milton L Mueller Laura J. and L.

Milton, I agree, with 2 caveats: - we must avoid discussing whether another body (ICANN Board, in this case) is "authorized" or not to undertake any action. I suggest "Consistent with its charter, the ICG considers that in transmitting the Transition Plan to NTIA, the ICANN Board shall not modify the Plan itself." - Board Liaison: strictly speaking there's only ONE Liaison (WU Kuo-Wei). Elise is a Liaison from Staff, in a technical capacity.

I don't agree. ICANN's board is not authorized to alter the proposal. It's factually correct and the simplest way to say it. An FAQ should make things clear and simple, not obfuscate.

There are 2 liaisons from the ICANN corporation. We can if you wish complicate the language by making this distinction, but in my opinion this is an example of a distinction that is completely meaningless to the people who would be asking the question.
Milton, my suggestion is simply to copy what exists elsewhere, e.g. the published minutes of ICG meetings https://www.dropbox.com/s/u6purzwddud2hl7/short-minutes-third-f2f-meeting-17...

Those are fine as descriptors. My point is simply that both of them are from ICANN, and the question in the FAQ is asking about the role of ICANN in our deliberations and decisions. So we say we have 2 liaisons from ICANN. I have trouble understanding how we spend so much time on things like this that, as far as I can tell, don't matter.
