[bylaws-coord] Update requested on overall project plan

[Mathieu Weill]

Thanks Holly, this is useful and understandable.



It would be useful to get that included into a global project plan to 
develop a shared understanding of these key steps. I assume that Icann 
project management keeps track of these details ?

Matthieu, we are feeding our significant edits to ICANN Legal to include in 
next draft.  I have no clear idea when the next draft will circulate and I 
don't know how close to final it will be -- that depends on whether our 
edits are accepted as is or whether there is negotiation. It also depends on 
when we get the comments from CCWG.  We will need at least 48 hours to 
review a very close to final draft before we can certify. Holly.

Dear Colleagues,



As we finalize our feedbacks to the legal teams on the draft Bylaws, and the 
legal teams are working full steam, the respective groups rightfully start 
asking questions about the next steps. I read with interest Akram’s blog ( 
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_blog_building-2Dan-2Denhanced-2Dcommunity-2Dempowered-2Dicann&d=CwMFaQ&c=Od00qP2XTg0tXf_H69-T2w&r=1-1w8mU_eFprE2Nn9QnYf01XIV88MOwkXwHYEbF2Y_8&m=BeMR2NiW9uUNVm2x0LKEAykzMvoeRpFg8nC9kdxYgIk&s=jvdDDgKA-8tJMLSyfUGyOpZ9YO0TgcBInon1UtOa3lQ&e=> 
https://www.icann.org/news/blog/building-an-enhanced-community-empowered-icann), 
which confirms the previous plan of launching a call for comments on the 
draft Bylaws on April 20.  I assume this was taking into account the various 
comments from the CWG and CCWG.



In order to avoid any miscommunication when responding to community members 
requests, I believe we would benefit from an update on the overall project 
plan, including (and maybe not limited to) :

-          Whether the groups or leaderships will be given an opportunity to 
review the next version of Bylaws before publication on Apr 20 ?

-          When in the process would the lawyers be in a position to provide 
a certification to the groups that the Bylaws accurately reflect the reports’ 
requirements ?

-          If and when it will be expected from the CWG and CCWG, as well as 
the operational communities maybe, to issue a formal statement on the Bylaws 
?



Finally, a statement in Akram’s blog struck me as a shift from our previous 
discussions. The blog states “The Bylaws will only become effective upon the 
successful completion of the transition.” I was under the impression in 
Marrakech that only the subset of Bylaws that are related to the IANA 
contract expiring would see its effectiveness delayed until the transition. 
I would appreciate clarification here whether this intent has changes, and 
what is the rationale.



Thanks in advance for sharing this update with this group, the tighter the 
deadline, the more critical it is to share up to date information amongst 
ourselves.



Best,
