[CCWG-ACCT] Fwd: [bylaws-coord] DRAFT NEW ICANN BYLAWS - 2 April 2016 version

Mon Apr 4 18:47:29 UTC 2016

Re: #32:
“During the SO/AC director removal process, should there be a requirement to hold a dialogue between the relevant director, the SO/AC and the Chair of the Board prior to the SO/AC accepting the removal petition?  The CCWG Proposal contemplated such a dialogue in the context of NomCom director removal (Paragraph 57 of Annex 4) but did not specifically mention it in the context of SO/AC director removal.”

This seems an omission.
The third proposal had the dialogue requirement only for SO/AC director removal. In discussions I believe it was agreed to add the requirement also for discussion to NomCom (see attached records from meeting #76)
It looks like during the drafting of the 2/10 version for legal review the requirement was inadvertently removed from SO/AC directors.(see attached V0.1BT)

Dear colleagues,

In anticipation of our calls this week, please find below a note from the lawyers group, the draft bylaws as well as an issue list.

It is important to read the lawyers notes as they quite efficiently describe the context and status of the work. Please review them for any process related question.

The purpose of our calls this week will be to address the issue list questions (questions 1-7 & 25-34 are for the CCWG, the others for CWG).

Should any other issue be added to the list based on your respective reviews, please raise your questions on the list for transparency.

Best regards,
Mathieu

Dear Bylaws Coordination Group,

Please find attached a document – DRAFT NEW ICANN BYLAWS (vers. 2Apr) (“DRAFT BYLAWS”) for your review and discussion. As you will recall the last full draft was provided to you on 18 March, with the promise to provide another full turn of the DRAFT BYLAWS for your review today on 2 April.  The DRAFT BYLAWS attached is the current working draft among the legal drafting group.  There is also an Issue List attached, which are a set of additional questions and clarifications requested from the Bylaws Coordination Group.

 We ask that you share the attachments with your CCWG, ICG and CWG colleagues who will be reviewing this during this critical work week

Recent Work – During the past two weeks the legal drafting group, made up of Sidley’s team, Adler’s team and ICANN's Legal team reviewed and worked through mark ups and redrafts of the various sections of new ICANN Bylaws.  Also, we have held four separate meetings with the Bylaws Coordination Group during this two-week period asking questions and incorporating that feedback into the new draft.  There is likely to be the need for some additional discussions as we work toward a public comment version of the new ICANN bylaws.

More Work to Do – There is still work to do on the DRAFT BYLAWS, in identifying and working through any remaining provisions in the draft that are not clear, finding any remaining open issues, improving the provisions, and polishing the draft before publication for public comment.  The legal teams remain engaged in review mode and are available for questions and comments during this period.

Legal Teams have not yet “certified” – Since a) the Bylaws Coordination Group, CWG and CCWG have not yet reviewed and reacted to these DRAFT BYLAWS, b) there are still remaining open issues, and c) there is still review and polishing to be done by the legal teams – the legal teams have not indicated yet that the current DRAFT BYLAWS fully meets the recommendations within the Proposals.

As we have indicated above there is still work to be done, including receiving the feedback from those reviewing these DRAFT BYLAWS this week before the legal teams will be in a position to certify the posting version for Public Comment

Next Steps –

1)   Now until 13 April – members of CCWG, CWG, Bylaws Coordination Group, Board and ICG to complete review of these DRAFT BYLAWS and provide feedback to legal teams;

2)   Now until 18 April, (with particular focus during week of 13-18 April) – legal teams to update DRAFT BYLAWS working in coordination with the Bylaws Drafting Group;

3)   20 April – posting date for public comment period for new proposed bylaws – with legal teams supporting that the new proposed bylaws meets the proposal recommendations.

———

As before, we look forward to working with all of you in the coming days, to get ICANN’s Bylaws in the best form possible to effectuate these important changes.

We hope these views of the documents are useful and that you receive them in the spirit that they are offered… to help all of us to be able to collaborate and work through these Bylaws changes in the most effective way possible — to enable the creation of a new and stronger, community empowered ICANN.

John Jeffrey, Holly Gregory, and Rosemary Fei
