<p class="MsoNormal">Kavouss¹ proposal (Board may reject GAC Advice only with support of 60% of<br>
its members) is simple and it is a compromise - essentially midway between<br>
a majority and a 2/3rds standard.<br>
<br>
My proposal attempts to address some of the structural concerns that arise<br>
when you look at Recommendations 1, 10 and 11 together. Specifically, it<br>
is intended to address the ³2 bites at the apple² situation when (1) the<br>
GAC issues Advice, which is then accepted by the Board - even where a<br>
majority (but not 60% or 66%) of the Board opposes that and (2) the<br>
community would like to consider challenging the Board¹s implementation as<br>
exceeding the scope of ICANN¹s Mission. In that situation, the GAC has<br>
indicated that it will participate in the escalation decision regarding<br>
invocation a community power, for example through an IRP. I propose that<br>
we should maintain the current threshold (e.g., no more than 2 SO/ACs<br>
object), but that the GAC¹s vote should not be counted to block use of a<br>
community power to challenge the Board¹s implementation of GAC Advice. I<br>
would note that Jorge notes that this principle should be applied across<br>
the Board. I don¹t agree, as I think that GAC Advice is not comparable to<br>
the output of, for example, a PDP process.<br>
