<br>
Well, With a continuation of Accountability and Transparency Review Team<br>
every 5 years, we actually to plan to come back every while to check on<br>
the health of the system and decide if something more needs to happen. <br>
The idea of future proofing ignores the fact that the future is<br>
unknown.&nbsp; We do out best today and keep coming back to check if<br>
something needs to be fixed.<br>
<br>
Oh course we need to do the best we can.&nbsp;&nbsp; But we don't need guarantees<br>
against futures we cannot know.<br>
<br>
So contrary to what James hope, I expect us to be back in 5 years to<br>
check and see what we got right and what we didn't get quite right.<br>

&gt;&gt; Hi Roelof,<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; You believe that a future Board would never reject the community’s<br>
&gt;&gt; will. I believe it’s a possibility we need to protect against.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; You’re willing to rely on trust in a future, unknown Board. I believe<br>
&gt;&gt; we need to ensure future communities have the tools to hold the Board<br>
&gt;&gt; accountable.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; You’re willing to leave ultimate authority with the Board. I believe<br>
&gt;&gt; ultimate authority must be with ICANN’s global multi-stakeholder<br>
&gt;&gt; community through its current and future SO-AC structures.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; In the spirit of consensus-building, I hope we’re able to find a way<br>
&gt;&gt; to bridge these gaps. I believe we can.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Best,<br>

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

&gt;&gt; I think you highlight a key point.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Currently, NTIA and the California Attorney General are the only<br>
&gt;&gt; enforcement bodies ensuring ICANN remains committed to its bylaws.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; The membership structure would give some of that authority to the<br>
&gt;&gt; ICANN community through its existing structures -- the SOs and ACs.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Isn’t that the definition of transitioning the United States<br>
&gt;&gt; government (in its various forms) out of its unique role?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; After NTIA disengages, don’t we want the community to have shared<br>
&gt;&gt; authority for enforcement, rather than leaving it to the California<br>
&gt;&gt; Attorney General alone?<br>

&gt;&gt; As I understand it, Courts view the bylaws as a contract between a<br>
&gt;&gt; corporation and its members/shareholders.&nbsp; If ICANN has no members,<br>
&gt;&gt; the bylaws are not a contract with anyone, so the only party with<br>
&gt;&gt; authority to enforce would be the Attorney General.&nbsp; (As discussed<br>
&gt;&gt; elsewhere, this is extremely unlikely to happen outside of a<br>
&gt;&gt; fraud/corruption situation.)<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; The fact that members of SO’s are legal entities doesn’t change<br>

&gt;&gt; Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] FW: [Acct-Legal] Memo - Revised Powers Chart,<br>
&gt;&gt; Voluntary Model<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Dear all, and especially dear legal colleagues,<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; The memo states:<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &quot;If there were a dispute between ICANN and an SO/AC, the parties<br>
&gt;&gt; could agree to an IRP and binding arbitration, but there would be no<br>
&gt;&gt; mechanism to restrain ICANN from acting contrary to these decisions,<br>
&gt;&gt; nor would there be a mechanism to challenge an arbitration decision<br>
&gt;&gt; that exceeded the scope of authority of the arbitration panel,<br>
&gt;&gt; outside an unlikely, independent intervention by the California<br>
&gt;&gt; Attorney General. &quot;<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I understand that the SO/AC’s, not being legal entities, cannot take<br>
&gt;&gt; legal action to enforce. However, does that really equal &quot;no<br>
&gt;&gt; mechanism to restrain ICANN from acting contrary to these decisions”?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Most members of SO’s are legal entities, many members of AC’s are<br>
&gt;&gt; too, couldn’t those members, being affected parties, individually or<br>
&gt;&gt; collectively take legal action?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Alternatively, I would assume that before the ultimate step of<br>
&gt;&gt; talking legal action against ICANN, the community will have escalated<br>
&gt;&gt; through its powers and thus has completed the procedure to recall the<br>
&gt;&gt; entire board. The power to recall the entire board will have to be<br>
&gt;&gt; combined with the power to in one way or another appoint an interim<br>
&gt;&gt; board. So, the community, through due process, recalls the board. The<br>
&gt;&gt; board, in contradiction with the bylaws, refuses “to go”. The<br>
&gt;&gt; community has recalled the board and thus, through the defined<br>
&gt;&gt; process (also in the bylaws), appoints an interim board. According to<br>
&gt;&gt; the bylaws, this interim board is now the legal representative of<br>
&gt;&gt; ICANN. And can take the required legal action (if necessary) to force<br>
&gt;&gt; the “old” board to go away and get lost.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Would one of these two work?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Best,<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>

&gt;&gt; Dear Legal Sub-Team,<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Further to the CCWG request on the call last Friday, attached is a<br>
&gt;&gt; memo revising the summary chart describing the viability of the<br>
&gt;&gt; enumerated powers under the three models – Member model, Designator<br>
&gt;&gt; Model and Voluntary Model.&nbsp; We also explore the impact of not having<br>
&gt;&gt; the SO/ACs organized legal persons to represent their interests.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
