<p><span lang=EN-US>Hi Paul,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>I think Bruce is the board mouth piece in this process and
we can take his word as from board, I also believe he does board consultation
before responding to seemingly indirect/sensitive inquiry. For me, what is
important is early interaction amongst ourselves, it does not have to be more
formal than the way Bruce is responding.<br>
A lot of us who are involved in both ccwg and CWG would agree on the level of
resources each individual has contributed, the final outcome in this process
should be worth all the commitment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span lang=EN-US>Hi Bruce,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>Thanks for this information, I will then suggest that this
WG determine if those steps will indeed be appropriate for us especially since
WS1 is more of a perquisite to transition. One would expect some adjustments on
timing and wording rights to be made in the process, also board voting rights
in this particular process may need to be agreed upon. It will not be
encouraging to have implementation stopped on the basis of no 2/3 board
majority....time utilization is an important factor in all these. So the
earlier we involve board (without having them dictate for us) the better.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
>> I think writing to board to know how it will treat the WG
outcome especially when some of it's implementations will require by-law
modifications that further involve the ICANN community in decision making
process may be useful.<br>
<br>
In terms of the process for making bylaws changes, changes have previously been
made to accommodate recommendations from the review teams associated with the
work of the Accountability and Transparency Review Teams (ATRT) <a
href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/atrt-2012-02-25-en" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/atrt-2012-02-25-en</a>
.<br>
<br>
Any archive of all previous versions of the bylaws is available here:<br>
<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/archive-bc-2012-02-25-en"
target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/archive-bc-2012-02-25-en</a><br>
<br>
Based on our current practice I would expect the process to be as follows:<br>
<br>
- Board accepts recommendations from the CCWG<br>
<br>
- General Counsel's office prepares specific text to change in the bylaws<br>
<br>
- proposed bylaws changes are put out for public comment (45 days)<br>
<br>
- Board then votes on the bylaws amendments - a 2/3 majority of the Board
is required to make a bylaw change<br>
<br>
If there is significant community comments against the proposed bylaws language
- then a new draft of the bylaws would be put out for public comment that is
consistent with the recommendations from the CCWG.<br>
<br>

Bruce Tonkin<br>
