[council] Next steps for Bylaws drafting

[Bruce Tonkin <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

Here is my current understanding of the process steps towards the Board meeting 
on 27 May to consider the new bylaws:

25 May - Staff sends out a summary of all comments and any proposed changes to 
the draft Bylaws to the community and ICANN Board, 48 hours before the Board's 
vote.

        Sidley and Adler law firms have already suggested proposed changes to 
the draft bylaws based on the CCWG on Accountability      public comments.   
ICANN staff are now compiling a summary of all the public comments, so that 
they can be reviewed     with respect to possible amendments to the draft 
bylaws.


26 May at  21:00 UTC - ICANN Board will hold an information call to review 
comments received since the Board's meeting in Amsterdam, and consider any 
suggested changes to the draft bylaws 


27 May at 13:00 UTC  - ICANN Board will hold a formal meeting to vote on the 
Bylaws.


If there are any outstanding issues identified from the summary of comments and 
proposed changes to the draft bylaws provided on 25 May, then the Bylaws 
Coordination Group will be convened to get guidance.


Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
