| RSSAC Statement on Joining the Empowered Community (R1) | RSSAC049 | Phase 3 | Evaluate |
DESCRIPTION
Given the timing and the broad impact of such changes, including ICANN Bylaws that would need amending, and the knowledge that this type of change has not been attempted since the inception of the Empowered Community, RSSAC believes that the best way to pursue this change is through the ICANN Board's implementation of the recommendations in RSSAC038.
DEPENDENCIES
RSSAC049 is under consideration by the Root Server System Governance Working Group as it develops its proposal for root server system governance and root server operator accountability.
