<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 16px;">I have one thought on the “duly taking into account language.” I don’t think anyone objects to ICANN duly considering GAC Advice, no matter what it is. I think
that the issue is the delay caused by the back and forth consultation process. We could always change the language in Article 11 along the lines below:</span></div>

this language, ICANN would still need to inform the GAC why it is not going to follow that advice, but it need not enter into good faith negotiations if the reason that it is not going to follow the advice is that doing so would require ICANN to violate its
