Dear Nathalie, Please find RySG feedback below: Maxim Alzoba

The RySG supports the Fundamental Bylaws Amendment re IANA Naming Function Review Composition as requested by the ccNSO.

The RySG appreciates the discussion during the Community Action Approval Forum (CAAF) that recognized the importance of the community process that ultimately lead to the approval of the Fundamental Bylaws in order to move forward with the IANA Transition as well as highlighting some of the challenges associated with meeting the prescribed requirements that ultimately lead to the amendment request from the ccNSO. During the discussion, Katrina Sataki also highlighted that the ccNSO is likely to have the same problem in finding a non-ccNSO representative in the event that a separation working group (Section 19.4) is ever required.

The RySG also had challenges meeting the prescribed requirements for representatives from the RySG for the IANA Naming Function Review that we highlighted during the associated public comment process:

During the CAAF, Jim Galvin recognized that the bylaws were written “ .. very, very quickly during the transition…” and further that “… where we as the community find loopholes or flaws, or contradictions within the bylaws, it's up to us now as the communities here to raise these fundamental bylaw changes, to come back to ICANN Legal with proposals on, oh hey, we've seen a conflict here between these two requirements. This is really our role now in order to solve those conflicts.”

In this context, it may be prudent for the Empowered Community to consider a review of the Fundamental Bylaws at some time in the future with a view to removing flaws, contradictions or conflicts between requirements.
