If this would achieve the same result as the broader membership
model and at the same time be simpler to implement shouldn't it be
looked at again? Was there a specific reason it was discounted?<br>

The sole membership construction, is a possibility described
in the legal document in several places: the comments by the
legal experts on the PCCWG mechanism template (page 64) and
the Community Council mechanism template (page 69). I sent <font
style="text-indent: -24px;" face="Calibri,sans-serif">several
emails about it to the WP1 list, suggesting to look in the
possibility as indeed it would not necessitate every SO
and AC to become a legal entity. And, as you do,
suggesting: "</font><span style="text-indent: -24px;">make
the „Community Council” the sole member of ICANN (and thus
a formal legal entity), consisting of either the SO and AC
chairs or SO/AC elected representatives” (from an email of
14 April).</span></div>

<div>What I find quite frustrating is that I have raised
the point of the possibility (or not) of a single
membership structure – an option mentioned by Sidley
and Adler & Colving in their legal advice –
several times by now without getting any substantial
reaction. I am not aware that any serious effort to
investigate this has led to a formal write-off.</div>

<br>
In some way that might lessen the complexity of making most
SOAC an individual legal entity.
<br>
<br>
How would it work? Would we continue to appoint Directors
just as we do now?<br>
<br>
Or would there need to be some sort of Members Council that
took actions, working simliarly to the the executive board
or community council idea?<br>
<br>
