7. Proposed Bylaw Amendments as requested by At-Large Improvements WT A
Background
As part of the ALAC/At-Large Improvements project, WT A has been working with ICANN Legal on two revisions to the ICANN Bylaws, both in section XI.2.4. These amendments come out of the Final Report of the ALAC Review Working Group on ALAC Improvements (9 June 2009).
The goal of these proposed revisions can be summarized as follows:
The section of the ICANN Bylaws that deals with the ALAC should be changed to reflect its continuing purpose in the ICANN structure. This continuing purpose has four key elements:
- Providing advice on policy;
- Providing input into ICANN operations and structure;
- As part of ICANN’s accountability mechanisms; and
- As an organizing mechanism for some of ICANN’s outreach.
A red-line markup of the changes, in their current form,is available at: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2951125/Red-Line+of+Bylaw+Revisions+by+WT+A.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1297421030000).
It is being requested that during the ICANN March Meeting in Silicon Valley in San Francisco:
- The SIC consider recommending that the Board approve the opening of a public comment period on these proposed revisions; and
- The Board act on this recommendation.
The proposed timetable
The proposed implementation timetable, developed by ICANN Legal, for these revisions culminates in their being considered for approval by the Board during the ICANN Meeting of June 2011. For that to be possible, the Board would need to approve the opening of the public comment period on the draft revisions during the ICANN Meeting in March 2011..
Decision
Does the ALAC approve the submission of Bylaws Amendments for consideration by the SIC to be opened for public comment?
