1. Do you believe that failing anything else, we must have the ability to remove parts of or all of the Board?
Yes - this is something which has been discussed since the beginning of the discussions on Stewardship Transition & ICANN Accountability. I think this is really important.
2. With the exception of Board member removal, do we need legal enforceability of can we rely on good faith (and Board member removal if you supported that).
Good faith. Legal Enforceability is a Red Herring that will not serve any of the SOs and ACs - because when you threaten to sue an organisation, you better have the adequate funding to sue that organisation. Hence where would the money from come for the ALAC to sue?
3. If the final CCWG proposal calls for full legal enforceability, is that sufficient reason for the ALAC to not ratify it?
No. I see no particular harm in a call for something that will, in practice, likely neither work, nor ever be used. If we reach the need for legal enforceability, it means ICANN really is in trouble. If we ever crossed that bridge, I'd recommend that ALAC and its RALOs walk away & find another home. Kindest regards, Olivier
