that's not quite what lawley said in that one debate video. the bylaws sound more like what he was saying (I took a highlighter to it for you)
Quote:
Section 5.8.
c. Supplemental Recommendation. At the conclusion of the Council
discussions with the Board of Directors, the Council will meet to affirm or modify its
Recommendation or other action, and communicate that conclusion (the "Supplemental
Recommendation") to the Board, including an explanation for the Supplemental
Recommendation. The Board shall adopt any Supplemental Recommendation supported
by at least 75% of the Council including at least two members appointed by the Child
Advocacy, Free Expression, or Privacy and Security Stakeholder Group, and at least
three members appointed from the Sponsored Community by the Board of Directors or
the Sponsored Community Stakeholder Group, unless the Board determines that the
Supplemental Recommendation is not consistent with the Charter and this corporation?s
mission or would violate this corporation?s contract with ICM Registry. If the Board of
Directors rejects the Supplemental Recommendation, it must publish on this
corporation?s website its reasons for rejecting the Council Recommendation. The
decision of the Board of Directors will be final.
