like other Board decisions. The GAC advisory relationship with the Board is rather unique and I think it merits clarification. I would hope that that would not be controversial.

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.

SO: This is correct and such possibility is applicable in any decision of the board, irrespective of whether it's GAC advice or not. No?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>><br>
The bylaw should clarify that Board-approved GAC advice, even if adopted by consensus, is subject to IRP appeal.”<br>
><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.<o:p></o:p></p>
