Anyway, I have some questions that I would appreciate answers to from the CCWG’s lawyers. Happy to discuss on the upcoming CCWG call.</div><div><br></div><div>Under the current structure of ICANN and its SOs and ACs </div><div><br></div><div>1. Is it correct that a bylaw saying that a combination of those SOs and ACs can veto the budget or veto a bylaw change can be drafted and put in to the bylaws?</div><div><br></div><div>2. Is it correct that were there to be such a bylaw and the SOs and ACs were to veto the budget or a bylaw change pursuant to that bylaw then the Board of ICANN could ignore that veto and that the SOs and ACs could not enforce the veto?</div><div><br></div><div>3. Is it correct that the veto bylaw could be drafted to require binding arbitration in the event that the Board refused to follow the SO/AC veto and if so would the Board be bound by the arbitration finding?</div><div><br></div><div>4. Is it correct that a Board spill bylaw could be inserted in to the bylaws and if triggered would be enforceable?<br><div>
