===Guidelines for Good Faith===

===Guidelines for Good Faith===

* The Guidelines for Standards of Conduct Presumed to be in Good Faith Associated with Exercising Removal of Individual ICANN Board Directors outline the procedures for petitioning and carrying out a review and vote to remove a board member.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-acct-ws2-final-24jun18-en.pdf CCWG-ACCT Final Report pgs. 20-21]</ref> They support the [[ICANN Empowered Community]]’s power to remove an individual and take a minimalist approach so that SOs/ACs are free to follow their own processes. However, implementing Recommendation 2.3, which requires community coordination and prioritization given its cross-community nature, will take substantial effort and not begin until each community group has completed its work on Recommendations 2.1 and 2.2.

The implementation of WS2 includes the consideration of the Human Rights Framework, consistent with international human rights law and norms, ensure that ICANN upholds and respects human rights. It is expected to be implemented by the seven SOs and ACs. Some have already delegated this work to committees or working groups. GNSO Council adopted a report on this recommendation in December 2022,<ref>[https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/draft/draft-ccoici-ws2-recommendations-report-final-02nov22.en_.pdf CCOICI WS2 Final Report, GNSO]</ref> and the GAC Working Group on Human Rights and International Law is discussing it.

 

===Jurisdiction===

===Jurisdiction===

*  ICANN should be required to apply for and secure an OFAC license if the other party is otherwise qualified to be a registrar (and is not individually subject to sanctions). During the licensing process, ICANN should be helpful and transparent in the licensing process and communication with the potential registrar.
