Dear Colleagues,

Here is a draft for our letter to the ICANN Board regarding the need to change ICANN Bylaws and make sure that we can start IANA Function Review even if no ccNSO non-member ccTLD representative can be found:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ce-sWgXEY7yIRsZlPqu10TrFgXpKRkZXksIqc5pAHKs/edit#heading=h.gjdgxs

If you remember explanation from ICANN Legal, the process would be:

1. We write a letter to the Board explaining what needs to be changes and why,
2. The Board instructs ICANN Legal to look into the issue,
3. ICANN Legal proposes changes,
4. Due process (public comments etc.),
5. Board decision -> Approval Action,
6. The Bylaws are changed (if we have support from other SO/ACs).

However, in the letter we already propose some wording: we should try to make it as neutral as possible, i.e. even if all three mebers are from non-member ccTLDs (if ccTLDs start leaving the ccNSO, for example), it should not be a stopper.

Please suggest your improvements directly in the Google doc by 12 April.

Kind regards,
