The Bylaws should be lean, flexible and contain only what is absolutely necessary for ICANN to function as a responsive accountable membership based California public benefits corporation. Everything else should find a home in operations and procedural documentation.

We should put in the bylaws what is required to achieve our goals. We should avoid putting redundant language in there as that may cause ambiguity. Not everything we need to accomplish needs to be put in the bylaws. We should only put into the bylaws what needs to be in the bylaws and put other areas into policies or other documents to abide by.

I also agree with that, particularly for WS1. Regards, Keith On Jul 24, 2015, at 9:55 AM, Nigel Roberts <nigel@channelisles.net<mailto:nigel@channelisles.net>> wrote:> Why?
