<div><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000">The “enforceability" issue is not about litigation at all, and it isn</font>’<font>t really about </font>whether the Board or some newly invented group is more likely to get it right<font color="#000000">. Rather,
it</font>’s about checks and balances. <font>Without the membership structure, the revised bylaws that empower the community to block certain actions, for example, are by definition advisory – they impose no
<i><b>legal</b></i> obligation whatsoever on the Board and staff. </font>I don’t dispute that the Board would have a compelling interest in respecting community input, but as a legal matter without the membership structure,<font color="#000000"> the Board
would be </font><b>required</b><font> to treat any community vote to block, for example, as merely advisory and would have an affirmative obligation to do what it concludes is consistent with its fiduciary duty. The membership model affirmatively shifts some
of that fiduciary responsibility to the community. It’s not a statement of who is right or wrong, but who has authority. </font></font><font color="#000000" style="font-family: Arial;">Steve raises a reasonable question about how the members/unincorporated
associations are accountable to their respective communities. But IMHO, the legitimate questions and concerns in this debate are getting obscured by </font><font style="font-family: Arial;">polarizing language and assertions that it’s inappropriate to express
a particular point of view.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></div>
<div>
<div><font face="Arial"><font>The argument that there are no examples of situations </font>that did result or would have resulted in the community acting as one against an action or decision of the ICANN Board.<font>” </font><font>The community has never had
any authority or tool to do so, so the fact that it never has is irrelevant and the assertion that it would not have is speculation. I certainly would have tried to get the community to overturn the Board’s decision to abandon the substantive standard for
IRPs in favor of the “good faith” test. As it happens, none of the existing review and redress mechanisms would have worked in that case, and they probably </font><font>wouldn’t work in the future either.</font></font></div>

believing there is a significant difference in alignment toward public responsibility between the ICANN Board and some newly invented grouping of community members. It ain’t so and it’s inappropriate to suggest so.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I think there's a fundamental flaw in your assessment. You appear to be looking at this question through the lens of the past and present, where NTIA holds the enforcement function ("enforceability") through its ability to rebid and transfer
the IANA functions contract if the ICANN Board and management acts inappropriately. That is the existing and necessary check on the Board's decision-making power. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Without NTIA in its current role, the community MUST have the ability to check the Board's power, and the only way to secure that check is to create legal enforceability. Otherwise, the Board has ultimate authority, even if its decisions
are inconsistent with the interests and desires of the community ICANN is supposed to serve.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">You are proposing a transfer of power from NTIA to the ICANN Board, which has a fiduciary obligation to first serve the interests of the corporation. Alternatively, proponents of legal enforceability are in favor of transferring final authority
to ICANN's multi-stakeholder community.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have covered the point above several times and it’s long past time to stop throwing this half-trust around. Yes, ICANN is legally a corporation, and, yes, directors of a corporation have a duty to protect the corporation. But that
generality has a far different meaning in a for profit corporation like Verisign than it does in a not-for-profit public benefit corporation like ICANN. The directors are obliged to pursue the purpose and mission stated in the incorporation papers and the
bylaws. The directors serve the community, and we do so by exercising oversight over the corporation toward that end.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">There will always be differences of opinion about the particular details, but those sorts of differences of opinion will arise in *any* governance model. The prevailing assumption in much of the correspondence on this list is that the
proposed members will somehow be more balanced, more inclusive and more trustworthy in protecting the interests of the overall community than the ICANN Board is. That’s simply false. And I think you know that it is.<o:p></o:p></p>

Board to court if they do not follow the rules. I tend to agree with the auDA comment that if it ever gets to that stage, we are REALLY in trouble, and a simple court decision is not likelt to fix it.<br>
<br>
But that nothwithstanding, we supposedly ned that UA because they can take legal action. But if the UA representatives do not listen to the SO/AC. the SO/AC cannot take that rep to court, because the SO/AC has no legal persona. So we are again left with a discontinuity
where something is largely unenforceable and we have to take it on faith that they will do the right thing.<br>
<br>
Of course, the UA reps and the Board members we select are basically drawn from the same pool, perhaps separated by a few years.<br>
<br>
The difference between a Board member and a UA rep is the Board member has a duty to the corporation, and the UA rep can, in theory, be required to take instruction from the SO/AC. But enforcing that theory may be the rub.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: rgb(136, 136, 136);"><br>

<br>
I think I understand the argument about members becoming that to which<br>
ICANN, and its Board, are responsible and accountable. From that<br>
perspective it sounds really good.<br>
<br>
What I have having trouble understanding is an accountability structure<br>
were there is a discontinuity between the SOAC and the UA. If each of<br>
the Board designating SOAC were the UA, it think I would understand.<br>
But I just do not see how the UA are accountable to the people and<br>
organizations that participate in each of the SOAC. Yes, the SOAC<br>
designates it UA representative, but how is (s)electing one of these any<br>
more accountable than (s)electing the Board as we do now. Don't we just<br>
move the perceived/possible unaccountability down a layer in the hierarchy?<br>
<br>
I think I am as comfortable with complexity as the next person. And I<br>
understand how in computer science any problem can solved by adding<br>
another layer of indirection, but in this case the extra layer we are<br>
creating does not seem to really be accountable to anyone but itself,<br>
except by (s)election procedures.<br>
<br>
I am sure I am missing some critical bit of understanding and hope<br>
someone can explain the chain of accountability in the membership<br>
model. I feel that we are still hand-waving a bit in the explanations.<br>
In a sense it seems as if we are creating a 'council' that is omnipotent<br>
in the powers it is given, except that they can somehow be replaced.<br>
<br>
Thanks and apologies for my persistent confusion.<br>
