              <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
              <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear
                Cherine, <br>
                <br>
                Thank you very much for taking the time to articulate
                your concerns and share them openly on this list. This
                is very useful to achieve what we called for in Buenos
                Aires : a fruitful dialogue with mutual respect. Your
                points are very useful to highlight what we need to keep
                in mind and improve, including the communication about
                our proposals.
                <br>
                <br>
                The comments I make below are not CCWG comments, but
                rather personal thoughts about the purpose of Enhancing
                Icann's Accountability. Sometimes we get lost in the
                details of the mechanisms and tend to lose track of the
                reasons why we go through this process. That is why this
                note is not much about the mechanisms but rather the
                vision our group is developing.
                <br>
                <br>
                If you find it appropriate, feel free to share these
                comments with the rest of the Board. I am certain that
                the concerns you raise are shared by other Board
                members, and it is certainly valuable to have this
                dialogue with the whole Board.
                <br>
                <br>
                Unintended Consequence 1:   Weakening ICANN's Governance
                model ?<br>
                <br>
                The headline of this section highlights the difference
                of perspective one can have of Icann's Governance model.
                I believe personnaly that the empowered community
                strengthens Icann's Governance model by setting up a
                *mutual accountability* between the Board and the
                Community, instead of the currrent model where the Board
                is fully empowered on all issues : it has the last word
                on Bylaws, budgets, policies, disputes, etc. The only
                *perceived* backstop is the NTIA, thanks to the leverage
                provided by the IANA contract and the AoC. <br>
                <br>
                It is true that the CCWG proposals have focused so far
                on providing more powers to the Community. But I insist
                the underlying model is about mutual accountability,
                separation of powers. The community holds the Board
                accountable through this limited but powerful set of
                rights ; the Board is still in charge of running the
                corporations and holds SO and ACs accountable in terms
                of policy making or structural improvements. SO/AC
                accountability is an item of work we are currently
                investigating further, taking into account the comments
                we have received so far. <br>
                <br>
                So both bodies are selected by the community, both
                bodies must be accountable, both bodies pursue the same
                Purpose, which is the Purpose of the organisation. The
                big change is that they are mutually accountable and
                powers are shared.
                <br>
                <br>
                Unintended Consequence 2:   Threatening ICANN's
                financial stability ?<br>
                <br>
                In this section you mention three threats : budget
                paralysis, instability of the business environment and
                unfairness to minority interests. As a reminder the
                current proposal would enable the community, if a SO/AC
                approved a petition against a budget or strategic plan,
                to vote on this budget. Only if 2/3 of the communitty
                votes against the budget or strategic plan would it be
                rejected. This means that a budget that would secure
                support from only 1/3 of the community would not be
                blocked.
                <br>
                <br>
                We are aware of the need to review our proposals to
                mitigate any risk of budget paralysis, and provide more
                details on the continuity measures in case a budget
                would be rejected. Just like the Board usually asks to
                be trusted by the Community, I guess we should also
                consider the opposite : can we seriously imagine a
                situation where more than 2/3 of the community would
                become so obsessed with their respective "pet" projects
                that they would jeopardize Icann's stability ? Does a
                strategic plan or budget that gets less than 33% support
                deserve to be carried forward ? There needs to be a
                balance found, and I am confident this can be achieved.
                <br>
                <br>
                Regarding business environment stability I must admit I
                can't really see how our proposals are degrading the
                current situation. Icann policy decisions often are
                decried as creating instability for business, I have
                difficulties anticipating that budget decisions by
                themselves would have such an impact ? <br>
                <br>
                And with regards to unfairness for a minority, I believe
                your point raises a fundamental question : should Icann
                be funding anything "for the benefit of a minority" if
                the rest of the community disagrees ? If Icann decisions
                are based on consensus and aim at fulfilling a common
                purpose, then I would argue that no project should raise
                opposition by 2 thirds of the community, even though
                direct beneficiaries might be a subset of stakeholders
                only.
                <br>
                <br>
                In conclusion on this point, budgets and strategic plans
                are tough, and I know that. Especially in the
                multistakeholder environment where bottom up is key. And
                it is a key responsibility for the Board to define these
                plans and budgets not only so that they enable
                continuity of operations, but also so that they are
                supported by the community. This means that the Board
                needs to ensure, not only that it takes input into
                account but also that it gets buy-in. This is in my
                opinion, what our proposals will enable to achieve :
                greater alignment behind the strategy and budgets, for
                the benefit of the Purpose of Icann.
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                Unintended Consequence 3:  Dysfunctional Board ? <br>
                <br>
                Your concern is that the threat of removal of Board
                members without justification would lead to Board
                members fearing the loss of their seats if they do not
                adhere to the wishes of the constituency which appointed
                them. This concern has been raised by others in our
                public comment and we have launched additional work to
                see how best to address this.
                <br>
                <br>
                While I agree with you that a Board that would function
                as a representative body would not be appropriate, I
                also have to question whether a Board functioning on the
                basis of the addition of 16+ individual views (which are
                also subjective and certainly have no way to exclude
                some personal agendas) would be more, or less,
                appropriate to ensure that Icann fulfills its Mission. I
                see no contradiction between the Board being a place for
                debates, sometimes clashes, then reconciliation behind a
                common goal, and the fact that the Board would then act
                as a body in the interest of the Purpose of the
                organization (note that I am not mentioning the the
                interest of the organization itself but its purpose
                here).
                <br>
                <br>
                You have more experience than I have, but it seems to me
                that most Boards across the globe acknowledge the fact
                that shareholders (or stakeholders) appoint Board
                members, that some of these Board members take the
                interests of certain shareholders to heart, and that
                they can be removed at will. To my knowlege this is the
                situation in most corporations, as well as in many
                membership organizations.
                <br>
                <br>
                Being a Board member is not a "regular" job. It is
                always a service, to a company, to a community, and it
                is not always rewarding : the CEO gets the media
                attention and fancy presentations when everything's ok
                while you work in the background, and the Board members
                are liable, and people turn to them when things go
                wrong. I believe accepting the fact that one can be
                removed at any time would actually enhance Board
                member's ability to contribute : it reminds everyone out
                of the Board that THEY appointed you, and could remove
                you if need be. And until then, you are doing your best
                to serve the Purpose of Icann.
                <br>
                <br>
                <br>
                To conclude, I hope we can pursue this dialogue and, at
                the same time, focus our efforts to deliver proposals in
                time. We need Board members inputs, we also need your
                support and efforts to get to a point of consensus that
                is sufficient to get approval in Dublin. There is no
                question to me that we are all in this together, trying
                to demonstrate the value of the multistakeholder model
                and its ability to "up its game" to face the challenge
                of the transition. This implies that we all, co-chairs,
                members, leaders of Icann,  feel accountable to reaching

                      areas: Strategic Plan, Operating Plan, Budget and
                      Bylaws changes, fundamental or not.  As a
                      consequence, there will be no decision that the

                      always have the ability to exercise its own
                      judgment after the community-empowerment mechanism
                      makes its decisions.  But the proposal also states
                      that if the community-empowrment mechanism does
                      not like what the Board has done, it can remove
                      the Board individually or collectively.  Hence,
                      the new community-empowerment mechanism in fact

                      believes in the bottom-up model, I support the
                      principles behind this objective, I believe it is
                      vitally important that these newly transferred
                      powers are paired with the transfer of
                      corresponding accountability.  The CCWG proposal

                          In anticipation of our call tomorrow, here are
                          a few points outlining the current thinking
                          about the face to face in Paris.<br>
                          <br>
                          Goal of the meeting :<br>
                          2 weeks before the publication of our second
                          (and hopefully last) WS1 public comment the
                          overarching goal will be to find the common
                          views that will be detailed in our 2nd draft
                          proposals. The expected outcome of the meeting
                          is that we find common ground on most of, if
                          not all the open discussions.<br>
                          <br>
                          Agenda of the meeting :<br>
                          Our plans are to work 8.30-18.00 local time
                          (CEST, UTC+2), with lunch break from 12.00 to
                          13.00.<br>
                          <br>
                          Our plan is to define a topic based agenda,
                          including :<br>
                          - WP3 proposals (emerging issues)<br>
                          - Community mechanism model (including
                          thorough Q&amp;A with lawyers)<br>
                          - modalities of of community mechanisms<br>
                          - Removal / recall Board members refinements<br>
                          - Government input related discussions (the BA
                          GAC communiqué announced upcoming
                          contributions before Paris)<br>
                          - IRP refinements<br>
                          <br>
                          We might have to plan sessions on the most
                          difficult topics on day 1 and on day 2 to
                          enable consensus building.<br>
                          <br>
