Hi Russ,

ICANN, as the Member, will act through the ICANN Board. A resolution by the ICANN Board would be required for adoption of the articles and for any amendments or repeals thereafter.

Subject: [IOTF] DRAFT PTI Articles of Incorporation


I just read the DRAFT PTI Articles of Incorporation (see https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-pti-articles-incorporation-01jul16-en.pdf).

I have a question about how Article 13 will actually be implemented.  It says:

13.  These Articles may only be adopted, amended, or repealed  in  whole  or in  part with  the 
       approval of (a) at least two ICANN Directors (as defined in the Corporation’s bylaws),
       (b) two Nominating Committee Directors (as defined  in the Corporation’s bylaws) and
       (c) the Member.

Article 6 tells us that the Corporation shall have only one member, which shall be ICANN.

How does ICANN speak in this situation?  Does it require the ICANN Board to pass a vote?
