Dear Drafting Team, This is a gentle reminder to provide your input feedback for the final review of Google Docs of 2.2/2.3, as well as the initial review of 3.1/3.2/3.3. Kindly review the documents in advance of next week’s meeting on 4 September. Thank you, Julie & Ariel From: Ariel Liang <ariel.liang@icann.org> Date: Thursday, August 22, 2019 at 12:22 PM To: "gnso-bylaws-dt@icann.org" <gnso-bylaws-dt@icann.org> Subject: DT Action: Final Review 2.2/2.3 & Initial Review of 3.1/3.2/3.3 Dear Drafting Team, Following yesterday’s call, staff have worked with Heather to update the google doc for 2.2/2.3 (Rejection Action). Now all comments/edits have been resolved, except for the newly proposed text in Section 5.2, which is still in the redline form. Please be so kind to review the updated version and provide your final input/feedback. In addition, please also begin reviewing the google docs for 3.1/3.2/3.3 (Board Director Removal / Board Recall). As mentioned during the call, these three documents follow the same/similar logic, structure, wording, timeline, and motion templates of 2.2/2.3, as they all deal with petitions. However, there are some substantive differences between these three documents, including but not limited to: * 3.1/3.2 (Board Director Removal) requires a meeting among the affected parties during the Petition Period, but 3.3 (Board Recall) doesn’t require such meeting; * New voting thresholds have been created for 3.1/3.2/3.3 (as reflected in the ICANN Bylaws Section 11.3(j)), and 3.2 has two separate voting thresholds (one for the petition acceptance, one for the director removal); * 3.1 (NomCom Director Removal) requires support from at least one other Decisional Participant to proceed to the Community Forum, 3.2 (SO/AC Director Removal) does not require support from other Decisional Participants, and 3.3 (Board Recall) requires support from at least two other Decisional Participant; * 3.2 has a 7-day Comment Period following the Community Forum, while 3.1/3.3 don’t have such Comment Period. The above list of differences is not exhaustive, and staff highlight them to help direct your focus when reviewing these documents due to their similarity. Staff also put comments on the Google Docs to highlight specific areas that we seek DT’s input.
