[ga] There's a bunch of us born every minute

["Antony Van Couvering" <avc@interport.net>]

Gone from the ICANN bylaws (Article III) is the following sentence:

"In addition to the specific procedures set forth in these Bylaws, the
Initial Board shall investigate the development of additional transparency
policies and transparency procedures designed to provide information about,
and enhance the ability of interested persons to provide input to, the Board
and Supporting Organizations. Any such additional transparency policies and
procedures shall be widely publicized by the Board in draft form, both
within the Supporting Organizations and on a publicly-accessible Internet
World Wide Web site maintained by the Corporation (the "Web Site"). Any such
additional transparency policies and procedures may be adopted only after a
process for receiving and evaluating comments and suggestions has been
established by the Board, and after due consideration of any comments or
suggestions received by the Board."

And the absurd comment, as if they couldn't have just changed "Initial
Board" to "Board"

[COMMENT: OMITTED LANGUAGE RELATES TO INITIAL BOARD; NO LONGER NECESSARY
WITH TRANSITION TO ELECTED BOARD.]
