<div dir="ltr">Dear all<div><br></div><div>Please find attached in .docx and .pdf an updated Template regarding the removal of the ICANN Board. This is Work Item WP1-7A in Working Party 1.</div><div><br></div><div>This update focuses on the power to spill the whole Board, following discussion at the CCWG that individual director removal could form part of post-transition Work Stream 2 work.</div><div><br></div><div>It actually also functions, more or less, as the Template for Work Items regarding the mechanisms, as it defines a "Community Council" as a vehicle by which the power to Remove the ICANN Board of Directors would be exercised.</div><div><br></div><div>It strikes me that this Council, if we like the shape of it, could (with various voting thresholds) serve as the vehicle for quite a few powers.</div><div><br></div><div>There are some caveats or points to note:</div><div><br></div><div>- there are some options in this, esp for size/composition. </div><div><br></div><div>- I am not a lawyer but I have written organisational constitutions before. This is an OK first draft but it is <b>not complete and leaves questions unanswered beyond those highlighted in the template.</b></div><div><br></div><div>- I have not developed legal questions that the lawyers might helpfully address in testing this template mechanisms, but plan to do so over the weekend.</div><div><br></div><div>- I had some help from our friendly co-Chairs in some of this drafting - thanks to Mathieu, Thomas, Leon for that. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>This is for first discussion on our call at 21h UTC today (Wed 11 March 2015).</div><div><br></div><div>I look forward to your thoughts and feedback.</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks,</div><div>Jordan</div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Jordan Carter<br><br>Chief Executive <br><b>InternetNZ</b><br><br>04 495 2118 (office) | +64 21 442 649 (mob)<br><a href="mailto:jordan@internetnz.net.nz" target="_blank">jordan@internetnz.net.nz</a> <br>Skype: jordancarter<br><br><i>A better world through a better Internet </i><br><br></div></div></div></div>
