Next steps for Bylaws drafting
Hello All, Here is my current understanding of the process steps towards the Board meeting on 27 May to consider the new bylaws: 25 May - Staff sends out a summary of all comments and any proposed changes to the draft Bylaws to the community and ICANN Board, 48 hours before the Board's vote. Sidley and Adler law firms have already suggested proposed changes to the draft bylaws based on the CCWG on Accountability public comments. ICANN staff are now compiling a summary of all the public comments, and then that can be reviewed with respect to possible amendments to the draft bylaws. 26 May at 21:00 UTC - Board will hold an information call to review comments received since the Board's meeting in Amsterdam, and consider any suggested changes to the draft bylaws 27 May at 13:00 UTC - Board will hold a formal meeting to vote on the Bylaws. If there are any outstanding issues identified from the summary of comments and proposed changes to the draft bylaws provided on 25 May, then the Bylaws Coordination Group will be convened to get guidance. I will separately send this to the CCWG on Accountability mailing list. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
Bruce, This is a little confusing. "26 May at 21:00 UTC - Board will hold an information call to review comments received since the Board's meeting in Amsterdam, and consider any suggested changes to the draft bylaws " I was thinking that at some point there would be a clean text that the Board would then vote on. Above seems to indicate that the Board is going to decide what suggested changes to adopt ad hoc. Is the Community going to see a clean set of text (that the Board will then vote on), or do we have to wait until the Board votes to see what the final new Bylaws are?
