[PC-NCSG] Proposed subject change for board meeting tomorrow

[Wendy Seltzer]

Thanks Matthew for starting the thread,

A suggested start at a statement:
The NCSG joins the Registries and Registrars in supporting ICANN's
consistent policy that it not be involved with content regulation, nor
to become entangled in such disputes through the back-door of contract
enforcement. ICANN's contract-enforcement obligations should be limited
to terms that "ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet's
unique identifier systems."

(possibly)
We are happy to work with other parties, outside of ICANN's contractual
umbrella, on measures to improve abuse reporting and promote consistent
good practices around the termination or disabling of abusive domain
registrations.

Would anyone want to improve and/or present that?
