I didn't read Malcolm's proposal that way. Instead, it seems to me
that his proposal offers a way to acknowledge the special role of the
GAC (its advice needs to be treated separately in the process) while
increasing the importance of the multi-stakeholder process overall
(the advice becomes a formal part of the PDP instead of something that
happens outside it). The real force of his suggetion is not to
subordinate one community to another. Instead, it de-emphasises the
role of the board in arbitrating among different stakeholders in the
ICANN community. I think it's a really constructive suggestion, and
I'd urge us all to consider that line of thinking.
We are up against a very serious deadline. We need to find a creative
way out of the impasse, and I think that anything that strengthens the
multi-stakeholder approach (in line with the NTIA's guidance) ought to
be considered seriously.
Best regards,
A
