Hi Sebastien, This was discussed when we were first called upon to name the At-Large, GNSO and ccNSO Directors earlier this year. See http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/alac/2017-May/010394.html. There is in fact a possible discrepancy within the Bylaws and this is also reflected in our RoP. The Bylaws require that the appointment of Board members be unconditional (and not need action of the AC/SO), but they also say that the Administrative Representative of the Decisional Participant (the ALAC) must act solely as directed by the Decisional Participant. In discussion with ICANN Counsel, there does not seem to be any real concern over this, either at the ICANN legal level or the other AC/SOs, but my recommendation is that we change out RoP to make it clear that for the appointment of directors (and for the removal of Directors by action of the Board), that the Administrative Representative can act without instruction. In the short term, we are acting under our rules that allow the Chair to take action on his/her own when there is a matter of urgency, and have it ratified by the ALAC after the fact. But we will amend our RoP to cover this when we do the next revision. Alan At 06/09/2017 04:57 AM, Sebicann Bachollet wrote:
