my presumption would be that the client had told its counsel that it was unwilling to negotiate on a matter and that they were therefore instructed to prepare the strongest possible memo justifying that intransigent position.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

operated under the proposed SMM” – there are no organizations comparable to ICANN, much less ones operating via the MSM. It’s a unique entity.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol;color:#1F497D"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">“CCWG Counsel has given little consideration to the need to test such a transformation of ICANN’s governance structure against the potential adverse
effects it may have, including risks of capture, and whether this can be accomplished in the limited time available to meet a September 2016 transition”—I’m not sure that is true, given the extensive stress testing that has been performed. But once the CCWG
figures out what it will propose post-LA, that will likewise need stress testing and lots of other adjustments to the current proposal. Making the September 2016 deadline was going to be a challenge even if a plan was approved by the Chartering Organizations
in Dublin, and now that it’s clear that is completely off the table a more realistic deadline might be September 2017 (aside: when I see the proposals to add more time to an already crushing CCWG schedule in Dublin I worry about group burnout and poor decisions
being made in haste and exhaustion). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol;color:#1F497D"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">“proponents of the CCWG’s Proposal minimize or ignore the fact that the shift to the SMM would place a significant amount of power in the hands of
individuals and stakeholders that hold no fiduciary obligations to ICANN or the global stakeholder community. These individuals and stakeholders are free to act in their personal interest and are not required to make decisions based on what is best for ICANN,
the ICANN community, and the global public interest. The result would be that a limited number of SOs and ACs (which could change over time) would have ultimate power over ICANN for significant matters with literally no accountability, producing exactly the
opposite result that the community now seeks, i.e., “power without accountability.” Any shift of authority to the SOs and ACs should be accompanied by a commensurate level of accountability” – I have no objection to the exploration of accountability mechanisms
for the single member. But the allegation that its constituent parts would act in their own personal interests seems vastly overblown, as it presumes a common interest when in fact they have widely divergent interests and perspectives. That fractionalization
of the single member is a form of accountability, as is the fact that its relationship with the Board would be largely reactive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol;color:#1F497D"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">

Board fails to remedy a violation, the claimant may enforce the arbitration decision in the California courts.” – this just emphasizes that the MEM is of much narrower scope than the SMM in omitting Articles of Incorporation and ordinary Bylaws from the scope
of arbitral matters. As for the remedy being tempered by the Board’s discretion, that’s a loophole you could drive a fleet of trucks through.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol;color:#1F497D"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">“The binding arbitration decision can be enforced by a California court even if the Board asserts that compliance with an arbitration decision would
force the Board to violate its fiduciary duties. If the Board raised such a “defense,” the court would evaluate that claim and, within its discretion, would accept or reject it. If the “fiduciary duty defense” was rejected (which, practically speaking, is
likely), a court order would issue compelling ICANN to comply with the arbitration decision.” – I don’t buy the argument that the fiduciary duty defense would be likely to fail if it had merit. If it lacked sufficient merit it should fail.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to exercise the statutory power; the actual power cannot be restricted, so there remains a risk that the power will be exercised.” – This seems to concede that procedural hurdles to exercising specific statutory powers could constrain their exercise. What
specific statutory power provided by California law is the focus of counsel’s concern?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol;color:#1F497D"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">

the SOs and ACs that direct the Sole Member are accountable to ICANN or the global public interest, the existence of such rights constitutes a significant shift in ICANN’s governance.” – Well, isn’t a significant shift in ICANN’s governance the whole point
of this accountability exercise?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I haven’t commented on every aspect of the memo and will await what will surely be a fine and comprehensive response by the CCWG’s counsel. But, while it certainly
raises some issues worthy of further consideration, its tone and substance do little to move the ball forward toward constructive compromise.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Yes, it is certainly possible that ICANN’s SOs and ACs may change over time, but is it really likely that the majority will “act in their personal interest”
and act in concert to make decisions that are in opposition to “what is best for ICANN, the ICANN community, and the global public interest”? That would require a cast of individuals widely divergent from those who presently engage with ICANN. And if that
unlikely turn of events did occur, exactly what horrible deeds would they be able to commit? Can we please have some specific examples of what harms and outrages a renegade single member might actually engage in, as opposed to fear-mongering without examples?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">In other words, let’s stress test this memo. And let’s start requesting that specific examples rather than generalized threats be cited.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">But, more important, can we please have a more constructive and less adversarial approach? In the end, to get an acceptable deal, everyone will need to compromise.
Or there won’t be any transition and the MSM will have suffered a major and perhaps fatal blow that could pave the way for multilateral control of the DNS. In that scenario there are no winners within ICANN corporate or community.
