Even then, the Board must try in good faith to find a compromise solution. This potentially could include GAC advice that goes beyond or is contrary to ICANN’s scope and mission. <br>

The bylaw should clarify that Board-approved GAC advice, even if adopted by consensus, is subject to IRP appeal.”<br>

SO: Is there a section of the current proposal that makes board's decision on GAC advice immune to community powers? (with IRP being an escalation path). I will like to see reference to that specific part as I have not seen such yet. The community powers is based on board's action/inaction so I don't understand what clarification is required when no exceptions (in this context) were made in the first place.</p>
