<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I am happy to see all three proposed models receiving equal representation in the document.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I note from the versioning of the report (v3.2) that this has been an iterative process with a significant number of changes being made along the
way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Following these changes, a few of the key tenets behind both the Golden bylaw and Trust proposals have been omitted or altered and I believe it
is appropriate to restate our original ideas and the thinking behind them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The first point is one of context.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The Golden bylaw model was auDA’s first attempt to develop an alternative to Contract Co.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">We felt this was necessary not only because we believe in an internal-to-ICANN model, but also wanted to help facilitate a balanced discussion
on all possible options.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">In acknowledgement of some community members’ vehement opposition to a completely internal model, we proposed the establishment of a trust that
would place binding obligations on the Board and empower the stakeholder community to make future changes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">On the continuum of external-to-internal solutions, we believe this is a step towards middle ground and are willing to discuss both as realistic
alternatives to Contract Co.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

catalysts that could trigger significant change to the management of the IANA function. Systemic failings as identified by regular reviews and urgent out-of-cycle failings (such as gross negligence or financial failure) have been retained. However, we also
envisage that significant levels of community petitioning could trigger the process. This has been dropped from the current draft. To be clear, such petitioning would need to be broadly supported. It would not be appropriate for one SO or AC to initiate it.
While details could be debated, we originally proposed a supermajority vote within two SOs/ACs could be a suitable minimum. Note that this is simply the process to
<i>trigger </i>a review and possible transition. The final action would need the support of a far broader segment of the community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

covered in this summary report, though must be considered and discussed with the community as we move forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
