I wonder if with "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. “ you’re
not oversimplifying or over-contrasting between the situation with legal enforceability and without.<br>
<br>
I think that in a situation where the board “jump the track”, the community ultimately goes through its process to spill the board and the board refuses to go, that board would be paralyzed in all ways, face shame and defamation individually on a global scale
and would ruin their personal careers completely.<br>
They would dimply not do that.<br>

Chris, <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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? <br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
I'm in favor of the latter.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Keith <br>

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
is different from a governmental one is just a non sequitur. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">"If there were a dispute between ICANN and an SO/AC, the parties could agree to an IRP and binding arbitration, but there would be no
mechanism to restrain ICANN from acting contrary to these decisions, nor would there be a mechanism to challenge an arbitration decision that exceeded the scope of authority of the arbitration panel, outside an unlikely, independent intervention by the California
Attorney General. "<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">I understand that the SO/AC’s, not being legal entities, cannot take legal action to enforce. However, does that really equal "no mechanism
to restrain ICANN from acting contrary to these decisions”?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Most members of SO’s are legal entities, many members of AC’s are too, couldn’t those members, being affected parties, individually or
collectively take legal action?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Alternatively, I would assume that before the ultimate step of talking legal action against ICANN, the community will have escalated
through its powers and thus has completed the procedure to recall the entire board. The power to recall the entire board will have to be combined with the power to in one way or another appoint an interim board. So, the community, through due process, recalls
the board. The board, in contradiction with the bylaws, 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 action (if necessary) to force the “old” board to go away and get lost.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
