Building on Bretts suggestion, here is a proposal DK II, as a compromis

“The advice of the Governmental Advisory Committee on public policy matters shall be duly taken into account, both in the formulation and adoption of policies. In the event that the ICANN Board determines to take an action that is not consistent with the Governmental Advisory Committee advice, it shall so inform the Committee and state the reasons why it decided not to follow that advice. Any GAC advice approved by a GAC consensus, understood to mean  the practice of adopting decisions by general agreement in the absence of any formal objection, may only be rejected by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Board. Any advice approved by the GAC with objections from a very small minority of GAC members, but falling short of consensus, may be rejected by a majority vote of the Board. In both instances, the Governmental Advisory Committee and the ICANN Board will try, in good faith and in a timely and efficient manner, to find a mutually acceptable solution. Governmental Advisory Committee should ensure that their advice to the Board is clear.”

Best,

Finn

Emne: [S18] Document for ST18 call Nov 20

Dear Colleagues,

During our last call we had discussed elaborating on the Denmark proposal. Since then, there has been significant exchange on the list, with interesting new arguments being developed.

To facilitate today’s call at 13UTC (planned for 90 minutes this time) you will find attached a document that focuses  on proposed edits we have received on the Denmark proposal, as well as, on page 2 a short table summarizing the different options regarding the “staggered Board decision threshold” approaches.

We look forward to a fruitful call.
