Re: [council] JAS
There is an ALAC meeting next Tuesday (Jan 25)
and I believe that the subject is scheduled to be discussed.
There has been another option discussed within
the WG and that is that the WG work on the union
of the two charters and that in its report, it
clearly state which recommendations fall under
the GNSO charter or the ALAC charter or both.
That way each organization can accept or reject
the aspect of the report that falls under its own charter.
Certainly not optimal, but perhaps viable if the
WG is agreeable, and without the need to re-open
the discussion within the GNSO.
I suspect that Option 2 will yield the result "It
is not forbidden by the Bylaws and so it is implicitly allowed."

Councillors,
FYI, ALAC Chair Olivier Crépin Leblond has
reached out to me to discuss the JAS situation.
Unofficially, because this has not been ratified
by ALAC yet, it is looking unlikely that they will accept our modified charter.
Some within ALAC are calling for either the
version of the charter that was approved by ALAC
to be maintained, or for the JAS group to work under 2 separate charters.
The second option seems surreal to me, and what
I communicated to Olivier is that I see two ways forward:
1. ALAC and the GNSO sit down together and
manage to find common ground on a mutually
acceptable charter. This does present some
complexities for us though, as any changes to
the charter that we approved during our last
teleconference meeting would no doubt need a new motion.
2. We both refer the problem to ICANN's general Counsel.
Because we are dealing with a cross community
group and these do not really have any clearly
defined status in ICANN at the moment, this
problem is one that we may not feel confident to
tackle alone, hence my second proposal.
I will keep the Council informed of any further
development on this front. Also, please note
that an update from ALAC on the JAS situation is
included in the agenda I have drafter for our
next meeting. The Council leaders are currently
working on this draft, which will then be submitted to the Council, as usual.
Thanks,
Stéphane
