I have been further reflecting on this comment and believe we need to revise Recommendation #1 to take a stronger position. I do not support either Mechanism A or B, and would prefer to see us support solely Mechanism C. This is because an independent ICANN Foundation with its own, independent Board of Directors would be more accountable than anything Mechanisms A (utterly unaccountable) or B (weak accountability structure) can offer.<br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have also deleted an edit that said ICANN org should be able to access auction proceeds if it goes through a community consultation process.
