[bylaws-coord] Process questions re Bylaws Coordination Group and recent draft review

[John Curran]

Bruce -

    Two process questions regarding the CCWG and CWG drafts we have received -

    1)  In this initial review of the drafts that have been distributed, are we to send
         feedback to this list, or save our observations for the face-to-face meeting
         in LA?

    2)  In performing our review, is the scope strictly set to the changes necessary for
         implementation of the CWG proposal and related CCWG items, or should we
         note any other items that might warrant cleanup in the bylaws?   (Article VI,
         Sec 2(5) is an example; one of the drafts rightly observes this Chair election
         provision might be more suitable in the officer section, but that obviously isn’t
         a strictly necessary change for purposes of implementing the CWG proposal.)

Thanks!
/John

p.s. Look forward to seeing everyone in LA - I will be able to participate on Wednesday
       and Thursday only, as I must return to the east coast Friday AM.

Dear Bylaws Coordination Group, Sidley Legal Team and Adler Legal Team,

The ICANN Legal Team submits the follow documents for Bylaws Coordination Group and legal teams to review.  We have put forth our best efforts to make changes on top of the current ICANN Bylaws to bring in the CCWG and appropriate ICG proposals.  I am sure in the 244 pages and approximately 90,000 words (including the comments and notes) that there are some errors, but we have strived to diligently draft to the intent of the proposals and recommendations.

We have provided a suite of documents below to help access the content including a full set and a redline against the current ICANN Bylaws.  We have included Breakouts re each CCWG recommendation, and we have also attempted to set out where we think there is a need for additional discussions both with the lawyers and with the Bylaws Coordination Group.

The documents below do not include the CWG Bylaws that Sidley sent to us today, or our markup of the IRP language that was included from Sidley’s updated version forwarded yesterday (although the Sidley text is included in our rough draft).
