<div>NTIA's current enforcement powers are indirect but very real. Through its existing ability to re-bid the IANA Functions contract, NTIA ensures that ICANN and its Board of Directors remain true to its bylaws. That unique role is set to change.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If a future ICANN Board were to jump the tracks, the community will no longer have the NTIA backstop. Without legal enforceability, the community would have to trust future ICANN Boards and trust future California Attorney Generals. Why shouldn't we instead
trust the global multi-stakeholder community itself? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If a future ICANN community were to try to spill the board, wouldn't we want that consensus decision to be legally enforceable? Or do we want to allow a future Board to tell the community it was wrong and, claiming fiduciary responsibility to the corporation,
reject the decision?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ultimately, we're deciding whether authority should rest with the ICANN Board and the California AG, or with the ICANN community and the California AG. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm in favor of the latter.</div>

We need more formal powers for the community because much of the power of the NTIA was informal. The only thing that could replace the NTIA precisely would be the NTIA. I get that you don't like the membership model. But asking why a non-governmental solution

</div>
<div>1. on Becky’s comment below: if that is correct then surely the same applies to the relationship between the SO/AC and its Unincorporated Association. If a court cannot enforce a Board spill by the SOs/ACs then a court can also not make the UA
do what the SO or AC wants. Can it?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. on Keith’s comment below: How does the NTIA currently have powers of enforcement over ICANN outside of matters covered in the IANA contract? If NTIA was/is prepared to enter into an Affirmation of Commitment with ICANN which can be terminated
by either party and is not legally enforceable, why should we insist on a higher standard? <br>

refuses “to go”. The community has recalled the board and thus, through the defined process (also in the bylaws), appoints an interim board. According to the bylaws, this interim board is now the legal representative of ICANN. And can take the required legal
