Hi-

I think we found we were limited to primary colors, but we will check to see if there's any way to soften.

Dear John and Sam, The color coding in the draft is very helpful for our substantive review and we appreciate it. However because the colors chosen are so deep we are having difficulty reading -- or to be more precise, we can read but it is very tiring. Is there a way on your side to change the colors to softer less intense shading?

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).

Attached please find the following documents (and a brief explanation of each):

1) Initial Rough Draft of the revised ICANN Bylaws (Word version) — incorporating suggested changes to reflect the CCWG and where appropriate ICG proposals. It is an extensive document of 244 pp. (including significant unaltered portions of the current bylaws).  Within this document, we have marked it up with guidance and color-coding on the approach we have taken to the different provisions:

a) Text highlighted in Green are provisions where the Proposals could be implemented in the Bylaws in a manner that appeared clear and not to require additional clarifications.  This was our best attempt at identifying these portions, and inclusion in green does not in any way indicate a lack of willingness to further discuss these areas.

b) Text highlighted in Yellow are provisions where the implementation of the Proposals will benefit from additional discussions among the lawyers and possibly the coordination group to confirm the intent.

c) Text highlighted in Blue are provisions that have been identified as the places were conversations among and with the coordination group will be important to make sure that the intent of the Proposals are appropriately reflected in the Bylaws.

2) A redline of the Initial Rough Draft of the revised ICANN Bylaws against the current ICANN Bylaws

3) Breakouts by Recommendation of the Rough Draft of the revised ICANN Bylaws — A series of 16 different documents setting out a recommendation by recommendation rough draft of the revised ICANN Bylaws.

4) Key Questions Document - a listing of some of the key questions for consideration by the Bylaws Coordination Group.
——

We look forward to working with all of you in the coming days and next week, to get ICANN’s Bylaws in the best form possible to effectuate these important changes.

We truly hope these views of the markups 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

Sincerely,

John Jeffrey
