Legalese is enough to give anyone but lawyers a headache. And please - You're not a dumb webmaster. It's a legitimate question.
Let me try again. If IFFOR's council votes for something, IFFOR's BOARD must accept it UNLESS it breaches the ICM/IFFOR contract or breaches the IFFOR charter. THEN ICM MUST accept it UNLESS acceptance would force ICM to breach its contract with ICANN, (or it isn't reasonable commercially, or causes instability to the DNS)
So to give an example, if the policy council voted by 75% to give a turkey to every single webmaster for Christmas, it would move forward. At that point the IFFOR board would say - "Hey, that isn't consistant with the charter!" If the board lost its collective minds and pushed it through anyway, then ICM could then say, "Um, sorry no - because that cannot possibly be implemented in a commercially reasonable manner."
Also, per IFFOR policy, the entirety of this process would be published on IFFOR's website, and so publicly available and entirely transparent.
Did that help?
