<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div><font face="Avenir,sans-serif">a. Noting our lawyer’s memo on the topic (Nov 23rd) : […] In the case of ICANN, if the Empowered Community is not provided a right to approve amendments to the Articles, there is a risk that Fundamental Bylaw provisions could
be undermined by amendment of the Articles by the ICANN Board, given the hierarchical relationship described above. Thus, we recommend including an approval right with respect to amendments to ICANN’s Articles in favor of the Empowered Community in the same
way the Empowered Community has approval rights with respect to Fundamental Bylaws. […] </font></div>
<div><font face="Avenir,sans-serif">b. Add specific recommendation that the current Articles of Incorporation be modified to remove the notion of members and reflect the need for an affirmative vote of at least three quarters of the Directors, as well as ratification
by the Empowered Community. </font></div>
