[Internal-cg] [bylaws-coord] DRAFT NEW ICANN BYLAWS - 2 April 2016 version

Sun Apr 3 15:27:45 UTC 2016

Thank you, Kavouss. Do you know if there is any plan to provide a redlined version or a list of the changes from the existing bylaws?

I think we should say that if any other ICG members want to provide feedback from the ICG perspective, they should send it to the ICG list by April 11 at 23:59 UTC. That way Kavouss and Milton will have a bit of time to consolidate comments and take them back.

> Please find attached a document – DRAFT NEW ICANN BYLAWS (vers. 2Apr) (“DRAFT BYLAWS”) for your review and discussion. As you will recall the last full draft was provided to you on 18 March, with the promise to provide another full turn of the DRAFT BYLAWS for your review today on 2 April.  The DRAFT BYLAWS attached is the current working draft among the legal drafting group.  There is also an Issue List attached, which are a set of additional questions and clarifications requested from the Bylaws Coordination Group.

> Recent Work – During the past two weeks the legal drafting group, made up of Sidley’s team, Adler’s team and ICANN's Legal team reviewed and worked through mark ups and redrafts of the various sections of new ICANN Bylaws.  Also, we have held four separate meetings with the Bylaws Coordination Group during this two-week period asking questions and incorporating that feedback into the new draft.  There is likely to be the need for some additional discussions as we work toward a public comment version of the new ICANN bylaws.
> 
> 
> More Work to Do – There is still work to do on the DRAFT BYLAWS, in identifying and working through any remaining provisions in the draft that are not clear, finding any remaining open issues, improving the provisions, and polishing the draft before publication for public comment.  The legal teams remain engaged in review mode and are available for questions and comments during this period.
> 
> 
> Legal Teams have not yet “certified” – Since a) the Bylaws Coordination Group, CWG and CCWG have not yet reviewed and reacted to these DRAFT BYLAWS, b) there are still remaining open issues, and c) there is still review and polishing to be done by the legal teams – the legal teams have not indicated yet that the current DRAFT BYLAWS fully meets the recommendations within the Proposals.
> 
> 
> As we have indicated above there is still work to be done, including receiving the feedback from those reviewing these DRAFT BYLAWS this week before the legal teams will be in a position to certify the posting version for Public Comment
> 
> 
> Next Steps –
> 
> 
> 1)   Now until 13 April – members of CCWG, CWG, Bylaws Coordination Group, Board and ICG to complete review of these DRAFT BYLAWS and provide feedback to legal teams;
> 
> 
> 2)   Now until 18 April, (with particular focus during week of 13-18 April) – legal teams to update DRAFT BYLAWS working in coordination with the Bylaws Drafting Group;
> 
> 
> 3)   20 April – posting date for public comment period for new proposed bylaws – with legal teams supporting that the new proposed bylaws meets the proposal recommendations.
