It does appear to be a particularly bad combination of (a) a proposal
that has itself been considerably watered down, and (b) a Board that is
suggesting that even that is too strong,and needs to be weakened
further.

At the risk of stirring the pot,
I want to ask the community whether or not the accountability proposal
has been so watered down that the NCSG ought to oppose it outright and,
concurrently, seek agreement from the Commercial users such that the gNSO
was opposed to the transition in its current form. If I were to
tally the reasons to oppose the current draft they would include:
· Enhanced GAC role through the
2/3 vote rule and there membership in the Empowered Community
· Incomplete rights of
inspection
· Continued board opposition to
human rights and mission statement as drafted
· Process fouls in any number
of ways, most recently in the overly short 21-day comment period on what
the Co-Chairs say is the “final report”
· Enhanced role of ACs in the
empowered community to the detriment of the SOs where policy actually
resides (this is above and beyond the GAC issue already noted)
I could go on, but frankly, for myself, the proposal seems to have fallen
sufficiently short that I would probably “vote” no, if votes were being
counted. It seems to me that someone needs to say that out loud
….
