<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif">With regards to the path leading to implementation, the Board believes that it will be necessary for ICANN to follow its normal processes for dealing with reviews. This will include the normal
process for bylaws changes, where the proposed new text will be published for public comment before Board approval, and the normal process of taking public comment for important implementation options and details.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">MM: This seems a bit strange to me. As I understand it, we are talking about bylaw changes required to implement the finalized ICG proposal that has been approved
by the NTIA. For ICANN to follow its normal process for dealing with reviews implies that ICANN itself is in control of _<i>making</i>_ the changes rather than _<i>implementing</i>_ the changes required by the proposal. Publishing the proposed text for public
comment seems duplicative given that ICG will have already gone through a public comment process. It also would seem to provide an avenue for changing the proposal in response to comments made in its own process.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">So if I understand what is being proposed by ICANN here, I would view it as both duplicative and potentially destabilizing.
