Importance: High

NO!  The GAC’s role would be limited only where the exercise of community power is challenging the Board’s implementation of GAC Advice!  That leaves PLENTY of room for GAC participation - as a decision maker - in matters that have public policy implications.

>>> Package Deal
>>> 
>>> 1. Modify Rec #1/Annex 1 and Rec #2/Annex 2
>>> 
>>> 
>>> 
>>> ·      Add the following to the end of Paragraph 23 in Rec #1/Annex 1:
>>> 
>>> 
>>> 
>>> The GAC may not, however, participate as a decision maker in the
>>> Empowered Community¹s consideration of the exercise a community power
>>> for the purpose of challenging or blocking the Board¹s implementation
>>>of
>>> GAC Advice. In such cases, the GAC remains free to participate in
>>> community deliberations in an advisory capacity, but its views will not
>>> count towards or against otherwise agreed thresholds needed to initiate
>>> a conference call, convene a Community Forum, or exercise a specific
>>> Community Power.  This carve out preserves the ICANN Board¹s unique
>>> obligation to work with the GAC try to find a mutually acceptable
>>> solution to implementation of GAC Advice supported by consensus (as
>>> defined in Rec. #11) while protecting the community¹s power to
>>>challenge
>>> such Board decisions.
>>> 
>>> 
>>> 
>>> ·      Modify the Table in Rec. #2/Annex 2 to reflect this carve out
>>> and add the following language to cover situations that would otherwise
>>> require the support of four SOs or ACs:
>>> 
>>> 
>>> 
>>> The CCWG-Accountability also recommends that in a situation where the
>>> GAC may not participate as a Decisional AC because the community power
>>> is proposed to be used to challenge the Board¹s implementation of GAC
>>> Advice and the threshold is set at four in support, the power will
>>>still
>>> be validly exercised if three are in support and no more than one
>>> objects.
>>> 
>>> 
>>> 
>>> 2.   Modify Recommendation 11 to reflect 60% threshold for rejection of
>>> GAC advice by Board, with note to drafters that supermajority
>>> requirement is not intended to create any presumption or modify the
>>> standard applied by the Board in reviewing GAC Advice.
>>> 
>>> 
>>> 
>>> 3. During dedicated Recommendation 11 meetings (4 February and 8
>>> February)
>>> 
>>> 
>>> 
>>> ·      Discuss and accept Recommendation 1 with change described above
>>> as first final reading;
>>> 
>>> ·      Discuss and accept Recommendation 2 with change described above
