That¹s a route worth exploring further, in my opinion. With the necessary bylaw changes and the power to spill the board, the community has a lot (and the most effective bit) of leverage Cheers, Roelof On 29-09-15 01:29, "accountability-cross-community-bounces@icann.org on behalf of Jonathan Zuck" <accountability-cross-community-bounces@icann.org on behalf of JZuck@actonline.org> wrote:

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?
