Hi Avri,
The sole membership construction, is a possibility described
in the legal document in several places: the comments by the
legal experts on the PCCWG mechanism template (page 64) and
the Community Council mechanism template (page 69). I sent several
emails about it to the WP1 list, suggesting to look in the
possibility as indeed it would not necessitate every SO
and AC to become a legal entity. And, as you do,
suggesting: "make
the „Community Council” the sole member of ICANN (and thus
a formal legal entity), consisting of either the SO and AC
chairs or SO/AC elected representatives” (from an email of
14 April).
And I would think it would
enable the SO’s and AC’s themselves to continue
appointing directors, as they do now. But that’s just
guessing, based on the fact that the SO’s and AC’s
themselves would not change status
Best,
Roelof

Hi,
In some way that might lessen the complexity of making most SOAC an individual legal entity.
How would it work? Would we continue to appoint Directors just as we do now?
Or would there need to be some sort of Members Council that took actions, working simliarly to the the executive board or community council idea?
thanks

2)What I find quite frustrating is that I have raised the point of the possibility (or not) of a single membership structure – an option mentioned by Sidley and Adler & Colving in their legal advice – several times by now without getting any substantial reaction. I am not aware that any serious effort to investigate this has led to a formal write-off.
