Kavouss,

I’m not sure I understand the question.  I mean that ability for the community to enforce its will, more quickly than waiting for a turnover of the board in 2 years. That has always been the bare essentials of WS1 prior to a transition: the ability of the community to affect change.

All truth is said in jest.

Hmm. An April 1 RFC as a model solution for our issues with the board. Might indeed be the right approach.

Or was that just by way of comment. For example an explanation of why putting things in ws2 is just silly and won't work.

Thanks Jonathan.

I find RFC 1925 most instructive when dealing with circumstances such as the one we currently find ourselves in.

Here's a flyer. How about we make the determination that converting ICANN to a membership organization is a WS2 initiative and design a stress test for whatever we come up with in the interim that examines the community's ability to make this transformation post transition. With the right set of bylaws changes, the ability to spill the board, etc. we might be able to meet the WS1 requirements of "sufficient leverage to accomplish WS2." We could keep it pretty simple, eliminate the deadline, the NTIA, etc. and work towards a membership model over the following year and spill the board if they resist. I know that spilling the board is something we don't regard as practical leverage for some random policy decision but I think it's pretty credible for a restructuring. Thoughts?
