[WP1] V3 of First Public Comment Document input -- for WP1 call #10

Thu Apr 16 15:49:14 UTC 2015

Hi all,
I fully agree with Robin : the new body created, whatever form it will take, should have a balance of power as close as possible to that of the Board. Doing very differently, may cause difficulties and instability.
Best,
Olivier

If we have any designator or member concept at all, we have to allocate influence in that scheme. There is no way around it.

If we find another way to do this in terms of the "how", we will still need to allocate decision rights to the powers set out, and within that, the relative weight between parts of the community too.

cheers
Jordan

Robin,

Currently, the SOs each provide two voting members of the ICANN Board, ALAC provides one, and the Nomcom provides eight.  The CEO is also a voting member of the Board.

The IETF, GAC, RSSAC and SSAC each have one non-voting liaison on the Board.

I'm not sure how to translate all of this into the membership structure you're discussing, and it's even less clear how to do so in a way that preserves the balance of power.  Since the ACs, with the exception of ALAC, have no voting power at all on the Board...

As a separate matter, I think the idea of parcelling out voting interests to competing constituencies is an absolutely terrible way to structure things, but that opens up a much larger discussion.

Thanks very much, Jordan.  I've started to review the new drafts.  One important concern I have is in Section 6.5.1 on this suggestion:
  "To ensure there is (as far as possible) an equality of voting power/representation between the three SOs, the GAC, and At-Large, with lesser but present/representation for SSAC and RSSAC."

I believe we should not try to alter the existing voting power / representation that exists today, as represented in ICANN's board of directors, the ultimate decisional authority for the organization.  So we should use the board's representational ratio as the basis for our work.  It would not be appropriate for the ICANN accountability reform effort to alter the existing relationship balance between those entities.  Presently on ICANN's board, SO's have double weight to the ACs, so I propose we do not alter that balance and stick to it in our work.

Thanks,
Robin
