is the delay caused by the back and forth consultation process. We could always change the language in Article 11 along the lines below:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

negotiations if the reason that it is not going to follow the advice is that doing so would require ICANN to violate its bylaws (including the Mission). I don’t think this in any way diminishes the role of the GAC – ICANN clearly cannot follow GAC advice
that violates the bylaws. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
