Dear all

Please find attached in .docx and .pdf an updated Template regarding the
removal of the ICANN Board. This is Work Item WP1-7A in Working Party 1.

This update focuses on the power to spill the whole Board, following
discussion at the CCWG that individual director removal could form part of
post-transition Work Stream 2 work.

It actually also functions, more or less, as the Template for Work Items
regarding the mechanisms, as it defines a "Community Council" as a vehicle
by which the power to Remove the ICANN Board of Directors would be
exercised.

It strikes me that this Council, if we like the shape of it, could (with
various voting thresholds) serve as the vehicle for quite a few powers.

There are some caveats or points to note:

- there are some options in this, esp for size/composition.

- I am not a lawyer but I have written organisational constitutions before.
This is an OK first draft but it is *not complete and leaves questions
unanswered beyond those highlighted in the template.*

- I have not developed legal questions that the lawyers might helpfully
address in testing this template mechanisms, but plan to do so over the
weekend.

- I had some help from our friendly co-Chairs in some of this drafting -
thanks to Mathieu, Thomas, Leon for that.


This is for first discussion on our call at 21h UTC today (Wed 11 March
2015).

I look forward to your thoughts and feedback.

Many thanks,
Jordan
