<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Basically, what I've
done is to remove the long inserted phrase about determining
the GPI (between the two red commas in the original language
above) and then try to "unpack" that phrase into sentences.
Thrusting this phrase in the middle of the sentence was
clearly causing two comprehension problems, even though the
drafting was technically correct. In addition to the
previously discussed comprehension problem around the word
"may," the mid-sentence insertion of the phrase obscured the
connection between the final words ("by carrying out the
mission...") and the thought that it was completing ("the
Corporation shall ... pursue the charitable and public
purposes of [x] and [y]..."). Removing the inserted phrase
makes the primary narrative thrust of the sentence clear: "<b>the
Corporation shall ... pursue the charitable and public
purposes of [x] and [y] by <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:15.3333px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">by

</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">[Note: I'm using "x"
and "y" instead of the actual language to make the sentence
shorter and easier to follow.] </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Lawyers love long
sentences (I've seen some go on for 20 lines or more), and
they love inserting explanatory or qualifying phrases in the
middle of the sentences, such as this phrase inserted solely
to show how such phrases are inserted, so that such sentences
can run on. Lawyers will also use the word "such" in a
somewhat futile effort to indicate that the word following (in
this case, "sentences") was already used in the sentence and
is being referred to again with the same meaning. These
drafting habits unfortunately make following the main thread
of a sentence increasingly difficult. They also force awkward
phrasing of the inserted clauses, since these clauses have to
be drafted as referential fragments, rather than
self-sufficient sentences. Ultimately, readability and
clarity of meaning suffers.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I hope that my
suggested change clarifies the main thread of the sentence,

<div>In light of this and some other

at least 24hours to review this comment
and ensure that it is a consensus comment
of the CCWG before we file it, Im not sure
if a 24-48hr delay in the filing of the
CCWG comment would have a major impact
downstream in the timelines, I have cc’d
Trang and Yuko who may be able to respond
to that.</div>

to do it with a full set of inputs and

don’t feel we have this yet. I know that
we are working to tight deadlines, but we

<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">It's
unfortunate that we don't have time to
run this by our counsel, as I would be
interested in their views. Here are
mine.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I
would recommend against filing these
comments.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">FIRST,
I disagree with the second point
raised. Substituting "shall" for
"may" would incorrectly imply that
there is a
<u>requirement</u> that a
determination of the global public
interest <u>must</u> take place. We
have not asked for such a requirement
and we have not specified any such
requirement, which would render this
statement nebulous, ambiguous and
undefined. As currently drafted, <i>if</i> a
determination of the global public
interest takes place it will be done
by the multistakeholder community
using a bottom-up multistakeholder
process, but there is (properly) no
language
<u>requiring</u> that such a
determination be made.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">If
anyone believes that Final
Recommendation 1, para 51
<u>requires</u> the initiation of a
process to determine the global public
interest, that should either be a part
of Work Stream 2 or a huge
implementation item for Work Stream
1. As far as I can see, it is neither
-- which further proves that changing
"may" to "shall" goes beyond the
recommendations of the CCWG.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">SECOND,
I also disagree with the third point
raised. "Organized" is commonly used
in Articles of Incorporation (indeed,
in some states, such as Massachusetts,
a non-profit corporation files
Articles of Organization rather than
Articles of Incorporation). As our
counsel pointed out on the last call,
the California official form for
Articles of Incorporation uses the
term "organized." (See attached) It
is a best practice to stick closely to
the official language provided by the
jurisdiction -- here it is
"organized." This is demonstrated in
model California Articles of
Incorporation prepared by Public
Counsel, a pro bono law firm, and
available online (see attached or
<a href="http://www.publiccounsel.org/publications?id=0059" target="_blank">http://www.publiccounsel.org/publications?id=0059</a>).
It would be far preferable if we were
to accept the clarification that
"organized" is what's used in this
circumstance, rather than to recommend
a change that is at best meaningless
and at worst creates the potential for
confusion (since one always looks for
meaning in any change, and confusion
could fill the void created by the
meaninglessness of this change). To
paraphrase Shakespeare, I don't think
the confusion is in the document, it
is in ourselves (or at least in some
of us) -- and it would be better for
us to adjust our understanding of the
document, rather than to adjust the
document to suit our misunderstanding.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Of
course, the language of the CCWG
comment is relatively undemanding --
we only ask that "counsel" (whose
counsel? ICANN's?) or "the drafters"
(why the difference?) review the
language. We do not justify our
quasi-recommendations of changes,
other than by saying that we are
confused by the word "organized" and
by demonstrating that we are confused
about what is permissive and what is
required.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Frankly,
I'm far from sure that this comment is
widely supported, other than by apathy
or lack of time. I think it would be
a mistake for either of these two
recommendations (?) to be adopted, and
I hope that counsel/the drafters, upon
further review, let the original
drafting stand.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">The
only thing I agree with is the trivial
change from "further" to "future,"
which at least does not make matters
worse. This is hardly worth a comment
by itself.<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">In
sum, I reiterate that I would
recommend against filing these
comments.</div>
