 proposal to failure.”&nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="color:#1F497D">I would have to disagree with the notion that “Community Consensus” requires consensus with the ICANN Board.&nbsp; &nbsp;It is CCWG consensus that is required.&nbsp; The Board resolved to forward the Community proposal
 to NTIA after it is finalized (with WG consensus) and the Board input is duly considered.&nbsp; Certainly the proposal may be accompanied by a letter from the Board to the NTIA.&nbsp; In this letter, the Board would have to decide whether it wants to say that the result
 of the CCWG –Accountability is “not in the global public interest.”&nbsp; If that is the case, then the entire Multi-Stakeholder Model credibility is completely blown because the Board would be saying that the MS Model does not work and the result of the CCWG’s
 work endangers the global public interest.&nbsp; </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">As previously mentioned, I think it is ultimately the Congressional view under the DOTCOM Act that will either move the transition forward or “doom it to failure”. &nbsp;&nbsp;In
 this regard, I don’t see how anyone is in a position to state definitively that the Single Member Model poses a greater risk of capture than presently exists or than is contained in its proposed alternative. &nbsp;&nbsp;There will be too much testimony in Congress about
 .amazon and .africa at that point.&nbsp; Congress has been told that the Board will forward the Community proposal to NTIA. If that process is disrupted, you can imagine that this will create mountains of distrust on Capitol Hill.&nbsp; (If the CCWG suddenly adopts
 the Board proposal out of fear of lack of NTIA approval, then that is “Board capture” of the bottom-up MultiStakeholder process.)</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">The CCWG has determined there are increased Accountability measures that should be in place prior to the transition. &nbsp;Congressional hearings thus far confirm the risk perceived
 is in relation to the current structure.&nbsp; Nor should the CCWG or the Board &nbsp;underestimate the power of the lobby in relation to these issues when Congress reviews the proposal pursuant to the DOTCOM Act.&nbsp; We will “cross that bridge when we come to it”, but
 we absolutely need to be able to verify that it was a true following of the Multi-Stakeholder process that produced the result.&nbsp; Otherwise, Congress may hold prolonged hearings in 2016 and then determine in 2017 that the Internet policy-making process is broken
 and that more Dept of Commerce supervision is needed, not less.&nbsp; (This could of course happened anyway.)&nbsp; The Board should be just as focused on these concerns as it is on projections regarding NTIA reaction to the Sole Member Model.&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">My view is that substituting the Board’s proposal is a great way to defeat the IANA transition in Congress.&nbsp; If I were against the IANA transition, I would adopt it with
 no changes.&nbsp; However, I remain confident that if the concern is capture, then there are more conservative ways of addressing that concern within the context of the Sole Member Model developed by the CCWG. Given that the NTIA conditions are focused on government
 control, &nbsp;I also don’t quite see how 5 GAC votes (out of 27?) poses the type of capture risk being posited.&nbsp; Could someone who believes this please enlighten me?&nbsp;
