My Dear esteemed Friend Andrew, Dear esteemed Friend Malcolm, Dear All, Thank you very much and thank Malcolm very much for his wishful thinking. Such approach while may enforce the subject matter and at the same time may serve to find a solution .However, the GAC advise which is ,once made, would be sent to the Board for its consideration within the specified course of actions mentioned in the Bylaws, then, according to Malcolm proposal, no matter how effective it would be ,create another Step ,PDP, AND GOES THROUGH ANOTHER COMMUNITY, GNSO, would create a) One additional Step b) Dependency to another entity, c) Inestimable delay d) Need to drastically modify Bylaws e) Inhomogeneity in the process e) Several legal consequences, intended, unintended, unforeseen complex gearing Believe me, I cannot buy it and I strongly recommend GAC Members NOT TO BUY IT MANY THANK AGAIN Let us search for other solutions, including the one that I have suggested and supported by several GAC Members Kavouss 2016-01-30 18:05 GMT+01:00 Andrew Sullivan <ajs@anvilwalrusden.com>:

I didn't read Malcolm's proposal that way. Instead, it seems to me that his proposal offers a way to acknowledge the special role of the GAC (its advice needs to be treated separately in the process) while increasing the importance of the multi-stakeholder process overall (the advice becomes a formal part of the PDP instead of something that happens outside it). The real force of his suggetion is not to subordinate one community to another. Instead, it de-emphasises the role of the board in arbitrating among different stakeholders in the ICANN community. I think it's a really constructive suggestion, and I'd urge us all to consider that line of thinking.
We are up against a very serious deadline. We need to find a creative way out of the impasse, and I think that anything that strengthens the multi-stakeholder approach (in line with the NTIA's guidance) ought to be considered seriously.
Best regards,
A
