[CCWG-ACCT] Shift to Designator Model

[Guru Acharya]

The co-chairs noted yesterday that they have seen a lot of traction for the
designator model. To me it is apparent that an offline decision to shift to
the designator model has already been made by the community leaders in
order to reach consensus; and there will be a move to that effect in the
upcoming meeting.

In my opinion, in case a shift to the designator model is made, the
following minimum conditions must be met by the CCWG to ensure that the CWG
requirement of separability (Power 7) is not weakened:

1) First, the bylaws must provide a clear and unambiguous responsibility
for the board to not reject the result of the community separation process
unless the board comes to the conclusion that the community had vitiated
the established procedure.

2) Second, transparency mechanisms, including DIDP reforms, must be shifted
to Work Stream 1 in order to ensure that ICANN can not frustrate
arbitration proceedings by refusing to provide documents in case of an
ex-parte arbitration.

3) Third, the NomCom must make take measures to ensure that the replacement
board, which is selected after a board spill, does not take the same
decision as the previous board. These measures may include increased
transparency in selection process or molding interview questions according
to community decisions.

4) Fourth, there must be a new round for public comments for the changed
proposal; and community feedback must be sincerely taken into account while
determining consensus.

I hope these suggestions are constructively taken into account.

Regards,
Guru
