<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">The Supplemental Proposal says that the threshold CAN be reduced to three under two conditions:<br>
<br>
(1) after an IRP has found that, in implementing GAC advice, the Board acted inconsistently with the ICANN Bylaws, or
<br>
<br>
(2) if the IRP is not available to challenge the Board action in question. <br>
<br>
My recollection is that the Board proposed only (1). Becky (and/or perhaps others) proposed (2), but I do not recall it being accepted by the Board or by the CCWG as a whole.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Ok. If Steve Crocker could also confirm that his understanding is the same, that would be very helpful.<br>
<br>
<br>
On the overall point - the board has already made its view on that question clear. Steve's email doesn't reference the GPI test that is the only basis the Board has set out to object to ccwg proposals, and which it has invoked prior.<br>
<br>
The intervention thus has two effects. It is a source of uncertainty, because it isn't clear. And it is a source of delay, because the intent and the group's response to it has to be clarified.<br>
<br>
Once again, we face a further delay thanks to the way the ICANN board has chosen to behave. I guess I wish I could say I was surprised, or disappointed - but that's long gone. I'm just confused: what is the end game here?
