On 3) ..."It also ties directly to a debate that both Fadi and some 
board members have been starting in various contexts, particularly the 
SO-AC-SG chairs space, about “trust” and the weaknesses thereof revealed 
in the accountability process.  Having a frank and open discussion of 
this would be useful"

I think in this case it would also be good to "to specify exactly which 
outcomes on non-outcomes to date we have a concern about, otherwise we 
could get sort of generic answers back about how of course they are 
following the process blah blah blah" (as On 2) below.

Maybe stating here a reference to the response by Fadi Chehade and 
Stephen Crocker (in response to the stakeholder leader's letter 
/"Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance"/ to Fadi Chehade and 
the Board) if a substantial number of NCSG colleagues also feel that 
their response was not an appropriate answer to the serious questions 
raised. That is what I feel - it has not raised my "trust". And NOT 
raising this frankly and specifically may result in loosing a unique 
opportunity for an open discussion with the board.
