feel like this is a discussion that we need to have and soon, but I was quite worried by a remark about the apparent incorporation requirement for the SO’s made during yesterday’s CCWG call. I feel like we should not lose sight of the prerequisites for each
model – if they cannot be fulfilled, any discussion about the “how” will be in vain. That’s why I asked for input from the CCWG list in hopes of someone speaking up. I’ll also go through the transcript of yesterday’s call as soon as it is available to confirm
whether my recollection of the call actually checks out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Thank you for this. A great deal of effort clearly went into this and this should develop into a very useful tool. However, I think we will need to have this reviewed by legal counsel before
we rely on it. Having reviewed this briefly, I am uncertain that at this stage this document accurately captures the legal advice, particularly with regard to how the rights can be enforced. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Specifically, this seems to give the impression that, if the membership model were chosen, the members would be limited to running off to court in most cases should rights need to be enforced.
I'm fairly confident that is not the case. I believe that the remedies listed for the designator model, particularly changes to the bylaws and the IRP, are equally available in the member model. With regard to litigation, I think the distinction is that
the designators have no ability to litigate on behalf of the corporation, while this is one possibility (but far from the only one) available to members. In other words, such litigation is an extra power, not the only power, available to members.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hello Team,<br>
<br>
What we need to do is take a hard look at both the membership model and the designator model and understand what rights can be created and how will they be enforced. Once we understand what we *can* do, we need to look at the pros/cons of the different models
and evaluate accordingly.<br>
<br>
But first, we need to understand what *can* be done so we can discuss *if* we ought to do it and what is the best means.<br>
<br>
So I've taken a first pass of each of the 6 community empowerment goals and created a comparison table to lay-out what rights can be created and how they can be enforced. I've combed through all the 200+ pages of legal memos, today's CCWG call, and calls of
the legal sub-team to compile this info into one table so the models can begin to be evaluated side-by-side.<br>
<br>
The doc is attached and also here is a link to the table comparing the 2 models:<br>

<br>
I am hopeful it can begin to help us to wrap our minds around what our goals are and how they could be accomplished by the two models at play.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Robin<br>
