RSSAC Statement on Joining the Empowered Community (R1) | RSSAC049 | Phase 3 | EvaluateBoard Decision Pending - External |
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 (RSS GWG) as it develops its proposal for root server system governance and root server operator accountability. This item will remain in Phase 3 until the RSS GWG delivers its proposed final governance model for the RSS to the ICANN Board for consideration.
