I think it may make GAC much more powerful -- essentially a veto over the GNSO process (and the other supporting organizations as well). Michael Geist's article on this is good -- <a href="http://www.michaelgeist.ca/2014/08/government-control-internet-governance-icann-proposes-giving-gac-increased-power-board-decisions/" target="_blank">http://www.michaelgeist.ca/<u></u>2014/08/government-control-<u></u>internet-governance-icann-<u></u>proposes-giving-gac-increased-<u></u>power-board-decisions/</a><br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
What it essentially does is put GAC on an equal footing with GNSO,<br>
ccNSO and maybe ASO.<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
Well this is interesting.  ICANN’s proposing a bylaws change that<br>
would would require 2/3 of the voting members of the Board to vote<br>
to act inconsistently with a piece of GAC advice.  Currently, the<br>
Bylaws require a simple majority of the Board.<br>
