Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] Need for clarity on enforcement mechanisms for Dublin

Thanks for circulating this Grace.

I would certainly support - and believe it should be a priority for Dublin - having a very clear understanding (in chart form or other) of the enforcement mechanisms for each of the powers under the SMM, Designator and MEM models as noted in the second bullet in the Action for lawyers section below.  Hopefully much of this has analysis been done and won't take to much additional work.

Thanks.

Briefing with Counsel for Plan B Proposal Meeting  - Thursday 8 October 2015 @ 21:00 UTC

Attendees in AC room:

CCWG: Steve DelBianco; Jonathan Zuck; Kavouss Arasteh

Counsel: Ingrid Mittermaier; Michael Clark; Rosemary Fei (and Ed McNicholas and Holly Gregory on the phone line only)

Notes:

Today's discussion revolves around the text here: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2015-October/006125.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__mm.icann.org_pipermail_accountability-2Dcross-2Dcommunity_2015-2DOctober_006125.html&d=CwMD-g&c=Od00qP2XTg0tXf_H69-T2w&r=1-1w8mU_eFprE2Nn9QnYf01XIV88MOwkXwHYEbF2Y_8&m=_S-oe8PY86oispxO1HJCZzZDhQo427n46kuO7tJoCMU&s=XLT7lJlb4CUKJ8Hrpm1f7ig33Uju5FaUqk9V-yDwJaM&e=>

Kavouss added an edit (underlined here):

1. Power to block a proposed Operating Plan/Strat Plan/Budget with  limitation on rejection/ Veto ( maximum 3 times )

2. Power to approve changes to Fundamental Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation.

3. Power to block changes to  standard Blaws.

4. Power to appoint and remove individual board Directors  possibly with the approval of the entire community

5. Power to recall the entire board of Directors

6. Mechanism for binding IRP where a panel decision is enforceable in any court recognizing international arbitration results — even if ICCANNs Board refused to participate in the binding arbitration.  (assuming  CCWG lawyers verify this works without activating a Membership model)

All decision taken on the above would require consensus , without more than two Advice against that ( non-voting of ACs)

I think we are close enough to get consensus around the above powers before we leave Dublin.   And based on what weâ€™ve heard recently, the board will support the powers described above.

Action for Steve/Jonathan: revise chart per call discussions (MEM / Single Designator / Single Member) and send to lawyers before they can proceed with their work.

Actions for lawyers:
·         Assess level of effort to do 2-part project as follows:
·         Part 1: completing the chart shown in AC. The chart shows the 6 Powers and their enforcement in Board's MEM (within Bylaws), Designator, Sole Member. For first pass, only do each of the  3 as described. (If there is extra time, the lawyers can study options for personhood for SO/ACs in the models).
·         Part 2: Plan B design and lockdown

Lawyers would like for this to be a priority if this needs to be ready by Dublin.

The more the documents can look simpler, the better. Minimal change is preferred.
