<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Thomas Schneider,</div><div>In your message to accountability group YOU HAVE MENTIONED </div><div>Quote</div><div><em>"" In the current operating principles, it is not specified how - in the case of diverse views in the GAC on an issue - this diversity should be communicated to the board. In the attempt to enhance accountability of ICANN's processes as well as the accountability of governments to their citizens and the global community, but also to improve ICANN's checks and balances and to avoid any risk of capture by an individual or a small group of governments, <strong>it may be useful to enhance transparency about the range and spread of diversity of views among GAC members, so that - before taking a decision </strong>- the board is best informed about this diversity and also the whole community is able to see on what basis GAC advice is formulated and that it is able to assess to what extent such advice has been "duly taken into account".</em></div><div>I am not sure that such a debate should be opened as it does not get to any finding . There are a lot of cases that GAC might have diversity .</div><div>How you wish to address that in the BYLAWS.</div><div>I SEE NO POINT TO ADDRESS THESE VARIETY AND DIVERSITYY</div><div>KVOUSSD <br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-03-17 11:16 GMT+01:00 Dr Eberhard Lisse <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:el@lisse.na" target="_blank">el@lisse.na</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Thank you,<br>
