the CCWG that it believes the proposal is “not in the global public interest”. I suppose they may do so if the CCWG-Accountability does not accept their counter-proposal. I don’t know how they send a letter to NTIA disagreeing with the CCWG-ACCT recommendation
without formally following the procedure below first. But maybe they already did? Did someone hear of a 2/3 majority Board vote that the CCWG Proposal is not in the global public interest? Is that where we are headed if the processing of public comment
does not result in the structure the Board desires? (So much for the MSM.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The original impetus of this whole transition effort was to save the MSM as embodied within ICANN in the wake of the Snowden revelations.
<br>
<br>
The MSM is weakened, not saved, by rejecting and rewriting its output.<br>

<br>
And that, it seems to me, Bruce, is at the nub of the problem. In theory, the Board has committed to transmitting whatever the CCWG submits, but in reserving the right to negate what has been submitted with its own comments (which would, in effect, kill any
proposal) it takes away with the left hand what it gives with the right. It is, as EL says, now down to who blinks first, it seems.<br>
<br>
More to the point however, whenever the Board says the first part ("we will submit whatever we get") without also saying the second part ("but we reserve the right to countermand that submittal with comments") it is misleading. Many in the community read the
"we will submit" as an endorsement of the CCWG process without limitation. Leaving out the critical limitation makes statements incomplete and adversely effects communication and expectation. Thus, the Board's promise in Buenos Aires was read as more palliative
than it actually is because of its reserved powers.<br>
<br>
In addition, when someone (like Senator Thune) asks the question from a practical perspective ("will the board accept") then leaving out the caveat is an omission that affirmatively obscures the reality.<br>
<br>
And then, there is the last sadder point: Which is that the Board's reservation of a right to comment even after it participates in the process and, hypothetically, has the community reject its concerns reflects a distrust of the MSM and a paternalistic attitude
that suggests to me all sorts of inadequacies. If the Board's conclusion is true, then ICANN is not fit for the transition. If it is false, then the Board misreads the community badly. Either prospect is daunting<br>

Hello Mike,<br>
<br>
<br>
>> Are you going to forward them promptly, or follow the Charter and the<br>
Resolution of 10/16/14?<br>
<br>
We will do both.<br>
<br>
If there is any disagreement - we will include that in a note to the NTIA<br>
along with the ICG and CCWG Proposals, and then initiate a dialogue with the<br>
CCWG. We will advise the NTIA of the outcome of any such process. The<br>
NTIA could either wait for the process to conclude, or it could be that the<br>
NTIA decides that the area of disagreement is not material to the IANA<br>
stewardship. I don't wish to speculate, that is for the NTIA to decide.<br>
The aim clearly is to develop a proposal that has broad support, and avoids<br>
the need for any follow on process.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Bruce Tonkin <br>
