<div>Thanks Rosemary. I botched the text in the email when I pasted from a Track Changes doc. Sorry. The attached documents actually showed it this way:</div>

</div>
<div>
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div>Any change to ICANN’s Articles of Incorporation would require approval by both Board and Members:</div>
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>“9. These Articles may be amended by the affirmative vote of at least two- thirds of the directors of the Corporation. When the Corporation has members, any such amendment must be ratified by a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the members voting on any proposed
amendment.”</div>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Under the proposal for the Community Mechanism as Sole Member, the Member would need to approve any change to ICANN’s present status as a California nonprofit public benefit corporation.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">Steve, I think some glitches got into the text in a couple of places.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">Setting those aside, here’s what I intended to say: once the Sole Member structure has been adopted by the Board into the Bylaws and ICANN therefore has member,
it would “require 2/3 vote of the Board and the vote of the Sole Member to approve any amendment to ICANN’s Articles of Incorporation.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
