<p class="MsoNormal">All, here are a few key points for inclusion in the list of the necessary Work Stream 1 reforms. I believe if we secure these into WS1, the WS2 issues can be addressed later with confidence.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Bylaw amendments incorporating AoC accountability and transparency obligations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. A new membership structure grounded in the community to ensure the Board is accountable to something or someone other than itself.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The group would have substantial but narrow powers, including
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(a) annual budget approval/disapproval<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(b) spilling the board<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(c) review of board decisions<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(d) referral of Board decisions to an independent redress mechanism,
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(e) approval of any future changes to ICANN bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. A reformed Independent Review Process (IRP) including addition of a new light-weight process. Key components: Independent (from the Board) internal review, independent redress and binding decisions. Possible external judiciary for dispute
resolution after all internal community processes have failed.<o:p></o:p></p>
