[bylaws-coord] Guidance Requested

[Jordan Carter]

Hi all

This delay is a new process, required to give time for the 28-day petition
process to occur once the board passes a standard bylaws amendment.  The
logic is it would be more disruption to Icann to 'roll back' an amendment
which was being challenged than to defer its start.

My view is that it isn't important which of 28 or 30 days is chosen. The
longer period gives a little flexibility for e.g. notices or info to flow.
28 will also work.

On instinct I'd stick with the 28 which is the maximum length of petitions.

Cheers
Jordan
