Thanks for the comment Tijani,<br><br>

To be clear, the proposed Bylaw changes that were in the earlier version

were issues discovered while the ALS-Mob-WP performed their duties of

reviewing all of the documents. However, none of the issues discovered

(an error in the intro paragraph of the ALAC section of the Bylaws, the

confusing use of "certify" and "accredit" and the

problem of the Bylaw still referring to individual members as an option)

were actually related to the recommendation that the WP was making

related to ALSes.<br><br>

So nothing is harmed by delaying discussion of that section. And it is

important to approve the ALS-related recommendation so that we can report

to the Board that it is done (a report is required no later than the end

of December) and of course start the work of implementation.<br><br>

Referring to the Office of the General Counsel is simply a mechanism to

ensure that there will not be any surprises down the road. There has been

abundant time for people to comment on the proposals, and short of your

comment that was based on an incorrect report version being posted, there

have been NO negative comments on the intent of what was being proposed.

Lastly, I note that it is typical in ICANN to have the legal team do the

actual drafting of Bylaws so clearly they see them before the group

concerned. Ultimately, the request to the Board to amend the Bylaws will

have to come from the ALAC and that will ensure full support.<br><br>

I see that the ALAC is asked to ratify the ALS Mobilization WP final

report that contains the following:<br>

</font><b>Proposed Bylaw Changes <br>

</b><font color="#002E7A">In the course of carrying out its work, the WP

identified a number of places where the Bylaws should be modified either

to align them with the current embodiment of At-Large or to address

changes in these recommendations. <br>

The proposed changes are still under discussion with the Office of the

General Counsel and will be proposed to the ALAC at a later time. None of

the recommendations in this report depend on the Bylaw change

proposals.<br><br>

Perhaps itâ€™s more appropriate to wait and have the the whole report

(with the proposed bylaw changes) submitted to the ALAC for

ratification.<br>

<font color="#002E7A">As I said before, in my opinion, the office of the
