[CCWG-ACCT] Chris's summary of current thinking

[Bruce Tonkin]

Hello Malcolm,


>>  We also think that an /independent adjudicator/ (not the Community) should prevail in a disagreement over whether the Board has exceeded its own powers, by acting in a manner inconsistent with the Bylaws.

Yes - I thought the board was quite clear that it supports an independent adjudicator process as well. 

For example, yesterday, Chris stated that the board supports a process for community to bring challenges against Board action that is alleged to be inconsistent with specified fundamental Bylaws, and supports a binding arbitration process that is enforceable in California Courts .   Chris also noted that ICANN would fund such community arbitrations.


Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
