But what if the Board cannot muster a 2/3 vote against GAC advice that goes beyond ICANN’s Mission and Core Values?

Then we have the equivalent of a Constitutional crisis, with the GAC in a position as a member of the empowered community to object to accountability escalation attempts related to the situation.

Yes, that should be clear.

Importance: High

IMHO, the GAC is not bound by ICANN’s Mission and Core Values.  It can issue any Advice it likes.  But ICANN can only implement GAC Advice in a manner that is consistent with ICANN’s Mission and Core Values.

Or, perhaps, that GAC advice should not be bound by ICANN’s mission and core values?

Jorge:
Can you please clarify what the implications are of this:

The GAC further expects that changes to ICANN’s mission and core values should
not constrain the Board from accepting and implementing GAC advice. In

MM: Do you mean to imply that there should be no limits of ICANN’s mission?
