Dear Tijani,

I have done some changes (changes are tracked in the document) and please
feel free to amend where necessary.

Also instead of asking a question in the document, it is better to come with
a recommendation.
I have modified the following to the paragraph below:

•	The final aim of the CCWG work is to enhance the Accountability to
the community . The membership model would enhance the accountability of the
board to the ICANN members, but how do we ensure that the ICANN members will
be accountable to the community???? With the membership model, we do not
solve it but instead move the accountability issue from the board to the
members

•	The final aim of the CCWG work is to enhance the Accountability to
the community in a transparent manner. The membership model would enhance
the accountability of the board to the ICANN members. With the membership
model, we do not solve the accountability problem but instead shift the
issue from the board to the members.
•	Therefore we recommend that checks and balances should be put in
place at the membership level to ensure that the members are accountable to
the community.

Thanks and best regards

Dave Kissoondoyal

Thank you very much Beran for your review. It is really helpful.

I accepted almost all your language corrections except one that I found not
too correct. Perhaps Seun can find with you the best text.

As for your question about the word "un-interested", the meaning we intent
was that it is done not for particular or private interest, but only for the
public interest.  

Thanks again

Tijani
