<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px"><div>I concur with Steve. This is a very important <strong>requirement</strong>. Not only did it have broad support during the public comment period but it's simple common sense: for advice to have any value to the Board the reasoning behind the advice needs to be provided. A simple "we don't like it" is of little value, although if provided as a rationale the lack of depth of the reasoning would perhaps speak for itself. I view this as a part of the greater transparency we are striving for in all things ICANN.</div>

<div>Mathieu — Regarding formal advice from any Advisory Committee (AC), many commenters reiterated that a rationale should be a <u>requirement</u> for advice to be considered by the board. (BC, NPOC, Google, USCIB, RySG, Valideus, the US Chamber, RrSG, NCUC, I2C, Intel, IPC)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It’s not enough to require that each AC "will make every effort”. </div>
