A key question Becky - thanks for raising. On 07/01/2016 17:00, Burr, Becky wrote:
Yes, but it raises an important question. If the GAC has authority to issue Advice that the Board must follow unless 2/3 of the Board reject, should the GAC ALSO get to decide whether the sole designator can challenge ICANN’s implementation of Advice in a manner that violates the Bylaws?

Sounds like a board ready to "violate" ICANN mission and core values. Were those not criteria for measures to be taken by the sole designator ?

Then we have the equivalent of a Constitutional crisis, with the GAC in a position as a member of the empowered community to object to accountability escalation attempts related to the situation.

IMHO, the GAC is not bound by ICANN’s Mission and Core Values. It can issue any Advice it likes. But ICANN can only implement GAC Advice in a manner that is consistent with ICANN’s Mission and Core Values.

Or, perhaps, that GAC advice should not be bound by ICANN’s mission and core values?

Jorge:
Can you please clarify what the implications are of this:
The GAC further expects that changes to ICANN’s mission and core values should
not constrain the Board from accepting and implementing GAC advice. In
MM: Do you mean to imply that there should be no limits of ICANN’s mission?
