<div>Dear Counsel and colleagues,<br>
<br>
Maybe to focus the question a bit and avoid too large a research in a first step, the key assumption we would like to test is whether Swiss law would enable the SOs and ACs to act with all powers described in our report WITHOUT the need to establish a legal
entity associated with the SO or AC. <br>
<br>
Thank you for your help<br>
<br>
Mathieu<br>

<div class="">A comment has been made in the forum which states:</div>

<div class="">
<pre class="">In some countries (in particular in Switzerland), non-profit associations
are, by law, accountable to their membership, in the sense that the
membership has full powers to amend the bylaws (called statues in
Switzerland), elect and revoke the Board, approve and review the budget,
etc. See articles 60 ff. of the Swiss Civil Code at:

<div class="">
<pre class="">If we accept the principle that accountability is ensured by the members,
then I don't understand why the members of ICANN should not have full powers
to amend the bylaws, set the budget, etc.</pre>
