[PC-NCSG] Fwd: Fwd: Identity Validation Comments

[Matthew Shears]

I'm fine with this overall and think it is a good piece of work. Just to 
note that while this is not my "space" rather than encouraging ICANN to 
bring on more staff to address these issues should we not just say NO 
until and when the community has decicded that this issue should be 
addressed?  I am very concerned about scope creep - this is yet another 
example of why we need absolutely explicit limitations on staff, Board 
and CEO in the accountability track.
