Dear Azucena, The gist of your proposed wording is okay for me. Concerning your comment about the number of board members I do not see this as being a problem as the board members do not represent the SOs but the SOs are merely a vehicle for ensuring a good representation of various interests and communities on the board. So us not having a view on ICANN overall policy issues does not impact on 'our' board members and their personal contributions to the board discussions.
