In my opinion, it is almost inevitable that a divisive issue will arise in the future that serves as a predicate for such definitional change (e.g., consensus exists when 2/3 of GAC members support proposed advice) and that will place the ICANN Board in the unenviable position of having to choose between blocs of governments with opposing viewpoints, as well as irretrievably alter the GAC’s internal politics and its role within ICANN.</span><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in; "><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><span>2.<span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></span><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">“Any GAC Advice approved by a GAC consensus may only be rejected by a vote of more than two-thirds (2/3) of the Board.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">This proposal is even more objectionable, as it would transform the status of the GAC “consensus” output from advice that must be given reasonable consideration by the Board, and obligates the Board to seek to negotiate a “mutually acceptable solution”, to a presumptive dictate that must be followed unless rejected by 2/3 or more of the Board.
