This will be much more interesting to know if the source can be referenced.

Cheers!

Why are you worried about planning for California laws when the stated plans are if and when Congress lets IANA go the plan is, not to keep ICANN/IANA in America but to move IANA to Switzerland where it will be under legal oversight for DRS of WIPO?

Dear Kavouss,

I like the idea of examining other options. Which options should we be looking at?

Best regards,

Dear All,
The entity may be one option. However, it is not what we were thinking of
First of all, no mentioned was made of GAC
Second the composition of the group is not mentioned
Third the footing is not mentioned
Fourth the legal Framework is not mentioned and
More importantly, it seems to me that every possible effort is made to maintain the current structure as we are talking of SO and AC .However, this is not the realistic composition.
We need to look at other option in which the process is more democratic.
All these SO and AC are not fully democratic as the stakeholder does not have direct role on that
Please kindly do not limit us to merely existing practice and model
There are variety of possibilities
I know most of you are for statuesque
But I and many others wants to see and examine other options

Dear Steve 

Are you suggesting we include changes in the bylaws within the scope of the working groups? I would have a few suggestions!

Cheers

This pertains to our discussion yesterday about a permanent, cross-community ‘Membership’ group to hold ICANN board and management accountable to the community.  It was described this way in draft3 for work area 2: 

Amend ICANN bylaws to recognize a permanent cross-community representative structure (all ACs, SOs, Constituencies) with authority to:
Appoint members of Affirmation review teams
Review a board decision, or resolve a dispute (option to use independent panel)
Approve changes to ICANN bylaws or Articles, with 2/3 approval
Approve annual proposed ICANN budget
Recall one or all ICANN Board members

One of the groups proposing a community of stakeholders as ultimate authority posted a relevant Op-Ed in a Washington paper today.  Daniel Castro of the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation (ITIF) wrote:

California state law applies since ICANN is a registered nonprofit corporation in the state. As such, California law allows nonprofit organizations to have statutory members. Gunnarson suggests that one way to provide an effective check on the ICANN board's power is to create statutory members of ICANN with extensive authority over the board. This authority could include removing board members, overturning board decisions, etc. The statutory members would likely include the chairs of the various ICANN "supporting organizations" and "advisory committees," such as the Address Supporting Organization (ASO) responsible for IP address policy and the Country Code Name Supporting Organization (ccNSO) responsible for managing the country code top-level domains. To ensure that the statutory members do not hold too much sway, their actions could be limited to situations where there is a supermajority (i.e., consensus). 

We welcome further elaboration of legal basis to enable this modification to ICANN’s bylaws in conformance with California law.
