I'm having difficulty identifying a single
new accountability measure that can't be 
implemented in the absence of the IANA transition.

Really? I don't think one needs to read far to 
see that; perhaps I should remind that the bylaw 
update included the recognition/implementation 
of proposals from the 3OC. Anyway let's not 
start that discussion for now, let's enjoy the 
moment and feel accomplished. ;-)
I agree with Phil on this - why shouldn't the 
Board commit to implement the accountability 
measures whatever does or doesn't happen on 
October 1?  Everyone has been saying all along 
that there's an "accountability deficit" in 
ICANN's current structure; the CCWG has come up 
with a proposal, endorsed by the Board, to remedy 
some/all of those existing deficiencies to make 
the institution more accountable; why should 
implementation of those revisions be dependent on 
the status of the IANA Functions Contract?  To an 
outsider, this looks a little bit like the Board 
saying: unless you turn over all the marbles to 
us, we're not going to do the things we need to 
do to make the institution more accountable to 
the community, as though "accountability" were 
some sort of quid pro quo for the transfer of 
control over the IANA resources.  That would be a 
rather strange position for the Board to be taking -

Hi Avri,
Here is the language from the Resolution on the effective date:
"Resolved (2016.05.27.02), the New ICANN 
Bylaws will be deemed effective upon the 
expiration the IANA Functions Contract between ICANN and NTIA.
The Board reaffirms its Resolution 
2016.03.10.18, stating, 'The Board is committed 
to working with the community to identify the 
portions of the CCWG-Accountability 
recommendations that can be implemented in the 
event that it is determined that ICANN's 
obligations to perform the IANA Functions will 
remain under contract with NTIA.Â¹"
Best regards,
Sam

Â  Â New ICANN Bylaws
*Author: Steve Crocker*
Today, on behalf of the ICANN Board, I am pleased to announce the
adoption
<<http://www.icann.org/resources/board-mater 
ial/resolutions-2016-05-27->http://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-05-27-

of
the new ICANN Bylaws
<<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/file 
s/adopted-bylaws-27may16-en>https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/adopted-bylaws-27may16-en
.pd
f>,
which reflect changes made as a result of the IANA Stewardship
Transition package of proposals
<<https://www.icann.org/stewardship-accountability>https://www.icann.org/stewardship-accountability>. 
The new Bylaws
...
are the result of hundreds of hours of work by the community and the
legal teams. The Regional Internet Registries Service Level Agreement
and Internet Engineering Task Force Memorandum of Understanding
Supplemental Agreement have also been approved for signing and will
go into effect after the transition.
Later today, ICANN will be transmitting the new Bylaws to the U.S.
Department of CommerceÂ¹s National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA). NTIA has previously stated that adoption of
the new Bylaws is required for them to complete their review of the
proposals, which is expected to occur in June.
This is an important milestone for ICANN and the community. As we
await the release of NTIAÂ¹s report, we continue to prepare for
implementation of the transition proposals. We thank everyone for
their continued hard work and support during this transition process.
