 &nbsp;The GAC may give Advice on any topic it wants, in any manner it likes. &nbsp;The only limit is that ICANN cannot act on that Advice if it would involve violating the Bylaws. &nbsp;Are you saying that you think ICANN can violate its bylaws if GAC advises it to do so?

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">I would like to again raise a strong concern on the proposed language establishing a general prohibition on ICANN acting on any advice of any advisory committee that would require ICANN to exceed its mission
 or violate its bylaws.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">Managing the Internet system of unique identifiers in the public interest is the first and foremost mission of ICANN (sections 2 and 3 of the AoC and sections 3 and 4 of the AoI). On their part, governments
 are responsible for public policy and obliged to protect the general public interest (ICANN Bylaws Article I Section 2.11, Tunis Agenda para 68 and 69, and page 6 of the Net Mundial Statement). It is the GAC who brings the public policy perspective into ICANN.&nbsp;
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">The &#8220;global public interest&#8221; in ICANN&#8217;s context concerns not only the operational stability of the Internet. That is an essential issue, but there are more aspects to the many public interest issues actually
 encompassed by ICANN&#8217;s actions and policies. For instance, other important issues that go beyond the technical stability, such as intellectual property rights protection, privacy and law enforcement, cyber bullying, Public Interest Commitments regarding new
 gTLD, highly regulated sectors, and human rights, are at stake because they have an inherent impact on global public interest, and therefore can be subject to GAC&#8217;s Advice. In conclusion, GAC Advice should not be restricted to ICANN&#8217;s Bylaws.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">This is without prejudice to the Board accepting or turning down GAC Advice.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">Hence, we oppose this new proposal or any new one that restricts GACs scope, sets boundaries to the Advice it may give, or refrains it from exercising its role of protection of public interest in ICANN&#8217;s multistakeholder
 environment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
