[bylaws-coord] Next steps for the bylaws draft

[Gregory, Holly]

Hi Bruce, We have provided ICANN Legal with a chart showing edits that should be made based on the CCWG comment letter ( although there are several items outstanding that we will work on early this week).  We also included general proof reading changes.  We are prepared to review the summary of public comments  that we have been told ICANN staff is preparing as soon as it is available and we hope that it will be available early Tuesday morning at the latest but we have not heard from staff on that.   We suggest that a bylaws coordinating group call be held on Wednesday to go over any issues.  We stand ready to do whatever it takes this week to meet the deadline.  Kind regards, Holly

Dear Bruce,

I understand the ICANN Legal is already expecting to generate a final version, starting with revisions already approved by the CCWG and edits from Sidley/Adler to fix typos and ensure consistency in style, formatting, and use of terms.  I believe ICANN staff is preparing a summary/analysis of public comments other than the CCWG's so they can be addressed in the next few days as well.  I don't think we have any calls scheduled yet to go through them, but the Adler team will be available as needed for this final push on the Bylaws.

Rosemary

Hello Holly , Rosemary and John,

Do you have a view  on how to pull together an updated draft of the bylaws.

It would seem to me that we would want to somehow turn around a fresh draft in the next couple of days that is agreed by ICANN Counsel and the CCWG legal counsel.  All changes should still be consistent with the original reports.

I believe Holly that you and Rosemary have some proposed updates from the CCWG comments – but we also need to consider all 30 comments in the public forum and see which of those require changes.

From what I can tell – most of the changes are drafting improvements.   There are been some proposed changes to section grandfathering agreements.   The Board discussed this in Amsterdam – and it seems that changes are in order for that text based on community feedback.

Ideally we will have a draft turned around  by the 25 May with a note that highlights any significant changes, as well as a red line with all the small editing improvements.   We can share the draft with the full CCWG/ICG lists.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
