<div class="">I understood from legal counsel during our session last Friday, that such a “statement of intent” would have to be issued
<u class=""><i class="">before</i></u> any situation in which the SO or AC would file for enforcement of powers, occurs.</div>
<div class="">So we should probably expect certain SO’s/AC’s to file those statements when it becomes possible, having as a result that ICANN would become a membership organization, is that right?</div>

</span></div>
<div class=""><font face="Calibri,sans-serif" class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">Over the past couple of days a number of us have been working to flesh out how an “empowered SO/AC model” could provide a path towards consensus. The deck, attached, reflects a very preliminary,
conceptual outline. This is intended to ensure a better understanding of what is being proposed and to encourage discussion between and among CCWG-ACCT members. Please review it in that light and share your thoughts to start a dialogue on the list.</span></font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Calibri,sans-serif" class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class=""><br class="">
</span></font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Calibri,sans-serif" class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">Speaking personally, over the course of refining this proposal I have become more convinced that this hybrid approach provides the foundation for consensus that respects and addresses the very
real and fervently held concerns that have been expressed about the various models we’ve discussed to date. </span></font></div>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
The Empowered SO/AC structure is simple, easy, fast and flexible….and it provides a powerful tool to ensure that accountability reforms deferred to WS2 become a reality<o:p class=""></o:p></li></ul><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class="">

<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
If we can get community consensus around the Empowered SO/AC structure, we’ll have no problem meeting the timeline for the transition….it actually allows us to confidently push off more complex and time-consuming questions to WS2.<o:p class=""></o:p></li></ul><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class="">

<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
A key benefit of the Empowered SO/AC structure is its flexibility -- it allows all of the SOs and ACs to take the time they need to decide how to engage. Governments get to keep their unique advisory status until such time they decide they want to exercise
any of the six community powers.<o:p class=""></o:p></li></ul><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class="">

<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Another key benefit of the Empowered SO/AC model is that is preserves and protects the existing community structures. It reinforces the current SOs and ACs and relies on their built-in accountability mechanisms.<o:p class=""></o:p></li></ul><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class="">

<div class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">A final, important note. It appears that the same kind of mechanism could be used in the designator model context (again, with the limitations with respect to the budget and strat plan). So to the extent that the designator
model is still in play, most of the concepts we’ve laid out are applicable.</span></div>
