Hello All,

Just following up on my comments during the CCWG session this afternoon on
the drafting process.

I recommend considering the following approach:

- Identify a sub-team of the CCWG to write a short brief for each bylaws
change required - including any draft text that has been developed so far

- Get the CCWG external council to confirm that the brief is achievable and
is consistent with their earlier advice

- Get the ICANN legal team to draft bylaws changes consistent with the brief

-  the CCWG sub-team confirms that the language meets the brief

- where necessary (e.g. if the CCWG sub team does not believe that the
draft meets the requirements)  get the CCWG external council to confirm
that the draft is consistent with the objectives of the brief  (use this
last step when necessary as we are using public funds to pay for the extra
advice and we should be prudent with expenditure)

- once the CCWG sub team is happy with the text - it should be reviewed by
the whole CCWG, before posting for public comment


For example, you could write a short brief on the changes required to
incorporate the AoC reviews.   This could include simply  a cut and paste
of the relevant AoC text - along  with any tweeks agreed within the CCWG -
maybe changing the proposed timing of reviews, or perhaps the membership of
the review team etc.

- ICANN legal can then draft language  for the bylaws that is consistent
across the whole bylaws document




Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
