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? Jonathan
Thanks Jonathan. I find RFC 1925 most instructive when dealing with circumstances such as the one we currently find ourselves in. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1925.txt <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1925.txt> Cheers, Chris

Jonathan, We need to answer whether the conversion to membership organization an accountability measure that must be in place for the transition to occur? If the answer is no, then we need to decide if we can push it to the nether regions of WS2 or whether we want to do something else entirely. If the answer is yes, then we (the Community) must not blink first. In my view WS2 is going to die as soon as the ink on the transfer document is dry. el On 2015-09-29 01:29, Jonathan Zuck wrote:

Some are trying to kill it before we even get that far. E.g the proposal to substitute the ATRT for WS2. avri --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
