Steve, I think some glitches got into the text in a couple of places.
Setting those aside, here’s what I intended to say: once the Sole Member structure has been adopted by the Board into the Bylaws and ICANN therefore has member, it would “require 2/3 vote of the Board and the vote of the Sole Member to approve any amendment to ICANN’s Articles of Incorporation.”
Hope that’s helpful.

Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] Revised Fundamental Bylaws section for 2nd draft proposal
We displayed and discussed this document on CCWG call Tue 29-July. Circulating this just so we have it for Thursday’s doc review.
The only new text arose from remarks by Holly and Rosemary earlier this week, regarding the Single Member voting:
Any change to ICANN’s A change to the Articles of Incorporation would require approval by both Board and Members:
“9. These Articles may be amended by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of the Corporation. When the Corporation has members, any such amendment must be ratified by a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the members voting on any proposed amendment.”
Under the proposal for the would require 2/3 vote of the Board and 2/3 vote of the Community Mechanism as Sole Member, the Member would need to approve any change to ICANN’s present status as a California nonprofit public benefit corporation.
