While the group has been enormously successful debating and coming to consensus on key areas (e.g., strengthening the Independent Review Process and Reconsideration processes), there continue to be some sticking points where consensus has not been achieved. As one would expect when engaged in institutional design, most contention revolves around the distribution of power. One specific issue is voting allocations within the proposed Community Mechanism that will be used for enforcing the proposed new community powers. The debate raises two major concerns. First, there is a major shift of power away from the Supporting Organizations and toward Advisory Committees, especially the At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC). Second, there is growing pressure to incorrectly reinvent ICANN governance structures along regional lines. < <http://www.internetgovernance.org/2015/08/11/ccwg-community-mechanism-threa tens-to-upset-icann-balance/> http://www.internetgovernance.org/2015/08/11/ccwg-community-mechanism-threat ens-to-upset-icann-balance/> ********************** - ccTLD & gTLD NEWS ********************** In God we trust, all others should use a .ie domain Why does the .ie extension (that's its official name) dominate the Irish website domain market?
