Initially, “solely” was added to tie the Petition Notice to the GAC Consensus Board Resolution. For example, the ICANN Budget is an amalgamation of many different inputs. If a particular expenditure is tangentially related to GAC advice, then the GAC should not be removed from voting on that petition. CCWG Counsel has accepted this approach for purposes of this draft, with the small addition of “or almost solely”, and with the clarification that the EC could undertake two rejection petitions at the same time, one narrowly tailored to a GAC Consensus Board Resolution, and thus subject to the GAC carve out rule, and one that does not involve a GAC Consensus Board Resolution. It will be helpful to see if the CCWG thinks this approach captures the carve out rule, as CCWG understands it. ICANN’s concern rests with the issue that “almost solely” is not a generally understood standard against which to assess action, and does not provide guidance to the community, ICANN or future IRP panels.</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>CCWG Response : The relevant sections of the Supplemental Report about the GAC carve out are :</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><ul style='margin-top:0cm' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Annex 1 - paragraph 8 and 44<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><ul style='margin-top:0cm' type=disc><ul style='margin-top:0cm' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2;vertical-align:baseline'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Board confirmation: When the Board takes action that is based on GAC consensus advice, the Board will need to state in its resolution that its decision was based on GAC consensus advice.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2;vertical-align:baseline'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>o GAC carve-out identified in petition to use Community Power: When a Board action that is based on GAC consensus advice is challenged, the petitioning SO or AC will need to indicate in the initial petition that the matter meets the requirements for the GAC carve-out and clearly identify the applicable Board action and GAC consensus advice at issue.
