Thanks for the comment Tijani, To be clear, the proposed Bylaw changes that were in the earlier version were issues discovered while the ALS-Mob-WP performed their duties of reviewing all of the documents. However, none of the issues discovered (an error in the intro paragraph of the ALAC section of the Bylaws, the confusing use of "certify" and "accredit" and the problem of the Bylaw still referring to individual members as an option) were actually related to the recommendation that the WP was making related to ALSes. So nothing is harmed by delaying discussion of that section. And it is important to approve the ALS-related recommendation so that we can report to the Board that it is done (a report is required no later than the end of December) and of course start the work of implementation. Referring to the Office of the General Counsel is simply a mechanism to ensure that there will not be any surprises down the road. There has been abundant time for people to comment on the proposals, and short of your comment that was based on an incorrect report version being posted, there have been NO negative comments on the intent of what was being proposed. Lastly, I note that it is typical in ICANN to have the legal team do the actual drafting of Bylaws so clearly they see them before the group concerned. Ultimately, the request to the Board to amend the Bylaws will have to come from the ALAC and that will ensure full support. Alan At 2020-12-02 06:06 AM, Tijani BEN JEMAA wrote:
Good morning,
I see that the ALAC is asked to ratify the ALS Mobilization WP final report that contains the following: Proposed Bylaw Changes In the course of carrying out its work, the WP identified a number of places where the Bylaws should be modified either to align them with the current embodiment of At-Large or to address changes in these recommendations. The proposed changes are still under discussion with the Office of the General Counsel and will be proposed to the ALAC at a later time. None of the recommendations in this report depend on the Bylaw change proposals.
Perhaps itâs more appropriate to wait and have the the whole report (with the proposed bylaw changes) submitted to the ALAC for ratification.
As I said before, in my opinion, the office of the general counsel shouldnât be consulted about changes that the ALAC didnât already approve.
My 2 cents.
