Actually, Milton, I personally didn't alter any language. The only words I'm personally responsible for are those in my minority statements on page 180 of the report. I'm hopeful that public comments will cause changes to the proposal so that I will be able to support it. At the moment I sadly am unable to do so. No transition is better than a bad transition. We still have 2.5 months to make it better until it comes before Council for a vote - I'd suggest we take advantage of that opportunity.

I repeat what I said to Avri. ICANN's mission and core values speak to, and are supposed to bind, ICANN - not GAC. By altering the language in the way you did, you let ICANN off the hook, not GAC.

The government's were very sensitive about any encroachment upon their defined GAC territory or any attempt to interfere with their independence, the debate over stress test 18 (consensus within GAC) being the principal example. My recollection is that Spain and Brazil were the most vocal demanding the changes you mention, Milton. As Avri has conveyed, governments felt it was the Board's responsibility to determine compliance with the Bylaws, not theirs.

Hi,

The point was that the Board is responsible for making sure the advice
it accepts is consistent with the bylaws. GAC does not accept that
responsibility. Then again, I know of no other ACSO that is making that
decsion of whether their recommendations or advice are consistent with
the bylaws.. It is up to the Board, and the the IRP to decide whether
something is consistent with the bylaws. That is their job.

As for whether it is a bad as it looks to you, probably not.
