<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The problem with making GAC (and ALAC) part of the Sole Member voting arrangement is that it has invariably been the GAC that has been pushing ICANN to expand
its scope and/or violate its process. And in this tendency GAC is almost always in alliance with ALAC, which shares an interest in increasing its relative power as an AC. So I think any comments we issue must strongly challenge the voting allocations proposed
by the CCWG for the Sole Member, as these voting allocations, as Brenden has so convincingly demonstrated here
<a href="http://www.internetgovernance.org/2015/08/11/ccwg-community-mechanism-threatens-to-upset-icann-balance/">
http://www.internetgovernance.org/2015/08/11/ccwg-community-mechanism-threatens-to-upset-icann-balance/</a> , drastically alter the power balance within iCANN. It weakens the Supporting Organizations (which are directly accountable to specific stakeholders
in DNS operations and use) and strengthens ACs (which are not composed of balanced direct stakeholders in DNS but of free-floating entities eager to impose their own ideas of ‘public interest’ on the rest of us).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the GNSO community to raise their voices and make sure that government’s stay on the sidelines. That may mean a lack of consensus but I would personally be very happy if the GAC dissented from whatever Dublin adopts.
