Dear Kavouss, dear Becky
Thanks so much!
From the responses I received, it seems that the carve-out applies generally whenever there is a Board decision to implement GAC Advice, even when that Board decision is deemed by the IRP to be perfectly consistent with ICANN Bylaws.
Hence, we should be clear that there is no relation between the carve-out and the consistency with the Bylaws, right? Reasons for bringing such a challenge can be purely based on different interests, right?
It is just a rule that excludes the GAC from (a decisional role in) any community decision where a Board decision to implement GAC Advice is at stake.
A further question: if such a Board decision is based both on a SO recommendation, an ALAC advice and a GAC Advice, the only entity to be excluded from a community process would be the GAC, right? But the other SO and AC would participate on both tracks, correct?
As to the threshold question: it merely has to do with the Board recall, but does not affect any of the mentioned characteristics of the carve-out, correct?
Thanks very much for any further guidance
Best
Jorge

Jorge-
The carve out would apply but you would need 4 SO/AC s to recall the Board.

Dear Kavouss
Thanks for the clarification.
Hence, do I understand correctly that the carve-out (exclusion of GAC as decisional participant) applies also if the Board decision to implement GAC Advice has been found by the IRP to be perfectly consistent with the Bylaws?
Thanks for your guidance
Regards
Jorge

Dear Jorge,
You are right
The carve out applies to all cases either in application of IRP or in the absence of IRP
For the first Board's agreed with reduced threshold from 4 to 3 for Board's Spill
For the second the Board wishes that the 4 SO/AC threshold applies .
Some people in the community like me fully supportting the Board's views.
Some others are against
This is one of the issue that must be resolved tomorrow

Dear all
From this email by Milton it seems that some (as Milton) are understanding that the carve-out only would apply if the Board decision to implement GAC Advice is found (by the IRP I guess) to be inconsistent with the Bylaws.
I have been away for one week, but I feel that the carve-out was meant to apply *generally* to situations where there is Board implementation of GAC Advice...
Could someone kindly clarify the status?
Best regards
Jorge

I think Andrew got the issue exactly right. I do not see how your answer even engages with his argument, which is that nearly all of the community has agreed that when board actions are challenged for being out of mission by following GAC advice, that the GAC should not be in a position to rule on that.
Claiming that the GAC does not have "extraordinary power" does not answer Andrew's argument. Whether the GAC has extraordinary power or not, if it advises you (the board) to do something that the rest of the community thinks is outside of the bounds of the bylaws (which it has a demonstrated tendency to do) the GAC should not be a decisional member of the empowered community that decides whether we get to challenge that action.
From that premise on, it is all arithmetic, as Andrew showed:
This is a choice entirely within the GAC's power. It must choose.
If it chooses to be board-advisor-GAC, then it is in effect choosing
that it prefers that mode of operation to being part of the wider
Empowered Community mechanism. In effect, a GAC choice can reduce
the possible actors in the Empowered Community to four. Otherwise,
the GAC is in a position to insist on advice it gave being
considered first by the board, and then that the GAC can also
participate in the judgement of the Board's actions. That's the
very "two bites" problem that we were trying to solve. I believe
that in most organizations (including many governments), it would be
regarded as surprising that a participant in the to-be-judged action also gets to be one of the judges.
You have not refuted this, as I said before you have not even engaged with this.
This increases my suspicion that the board's position is based on a political calculus, not on good governance or accountability criteria.
Further, it is clear from the reaction you have gotten that the board is not proposing a "friendly amendment." In these rules of procedure, a friendly amendment has to be accepted by the group that proposed it, and clearly it is not.
I am deeply disturbed by the board upsetting a consensual compromise, and a very difficult one, for the third time in this process. I wonder if you have any appreciation of the potential costs of this, particularly when it involves an issue as sensitive as the role of national governments in ICANN.
