> ·         The ICANN Board’s September 2 feedback agreed with the CCWG recommendations on community empowerment and enforceability, but also provided notice that the Board plans to submit public comments raising concerns with the proposed Sole Member model as a means to implement and enforce the community powers. 
> ·         The September 2 CCWG-Board call was fairly contentious, but the CCWG is keeping an open mind and taking a wait-and-see approach, pending receipt of the details of the Board’s concerns and suggestions.
> ·         The CCWG is currently awaiting the written, detailed comments from the ICANN Board, to include any legal analysis.
> ·         The legal teams from ICANN and the CCWG  met once last week to discuss the Board’s concerns. They intend to meet again in the near future. Discussions to date have been non-substantive, pending finalization of the Board’s detailed input.
> ·         The CCWG is continuing its work in planning for assessment of all public comments. It currently intends to consider the ICANN Board’s input as part of the public comment period.
> ·         A face-to-face meeting of the CCWG-Accountability has been proposed for late September.
> ·         If a face-to-face meeting takes place, it will likely occur in Los Angeles around the time of the ICANN Board’s retreat. This will hopefully facilitate any follow-on conversations to the Board’s public comments.
> ·         It remains to be seen whether the Board’s concerns are sufficiently fundamental or substantial that a third public comment period might be necessary (were the CCWG to accept and incorporate the Board’s input).
