<div dir="ltr">Hi Milton<div><br></div><div>Many governments want to keep their advisory role to CMSM and I think it's inevitable. What we might be better off doing is to have some kind of rules to prevent what you predicted (delaying the process etc).Are you suggesting that giving them the right to vote would be better than the advisory role? </div><div>Also their advisory role has not been discussed yet so we don't really know how and at what stage they can intervene what they should do to intervene and what they should really give advice on. Do they give advice to the board on how to reconsider the bylaws? Also for recalling the ICANN board, it doesn't make sense for them to give advice to the board for its own removal so how would that work ? I think what you are predicting above is based on GAC current advisory role to board. And in my opinion GAC advisory role in CMSM might be of a different nature. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 1 September 2015 at 03:58, Mueller, Milton L <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:milton.mueller@pubpolicy.gatech.edu" target="_blank">milton.mueller@pubpolicy.gatech.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
