<p dir="ltr">I understand the powers would be bestowed on the council individuals and not their source position;</p>
<p dir="ltr">For instance one of the option is to populate the community council with leaders of SO/AC, which IMO would be the cheapest route in this model so they would be occupying a virtual seat and exercise those powers when required. It would also allow the various SO/AC internet accountability mechanisms apply to council including removal of members.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, I then learnt that the council cannot be formed by SO/AC leader positions but rather to the occupants of that position. This would mean having to rewrite the bylaw/document forming the council often since leaders of those positions are dynamic and could change at anytime. Will be good to know if that is no longer the case</p>

The sole membership construction, is a possibility described in the legal document in several places: the comments by the legal experts on the PCCWG mechanism template (page 64) and the Community Council mechanism template (page 69). I sent <font face="Calibri,sans-serif">several
emails about it to the WP1 list, suggesting to look in the possibility as indeed it would not necessitate every SO and AC to become a legal entity. And, as you do, suggesting: "</font><span>make the „Community Council” the sole
member of ICANN (and thus a formal legal entity), consisting of either the SO and AC chairs or SO/AC elected representatives” (from an email of 14 April).</span></div>

<br>
In some way that might lessen the complexity of making most SOAC an individual legal entity.
<br>
<br>
How would it work? Would we continue to appoint Directors just as we do now?<br>
<br>
Or would there need to be some sort of Members Council that took actions, working simliarly to the the executive board or community council idea?<br>
<br>
