Philip-
The gTLD
Constituency would like to propose the attached modification to your
proposal on the makeup of NC Committees and task forces
Roger
=========================================================================================================
Makeup of NC committees and task forces:
Using the following guidelines, the NC will decide the makeup of
all NC
committees and task forces on a case by case basis according to
the specific
needs for the committee/task force:
1. The committee/task force chair may be selected by the NC or
may be
selected by the committee/task force provided that in all cases
the chair
must be an NC member.
2. In situations where a committee/task force has been delegated
authority
by the NC, at least a simple majority of the committee/task
force must be
made up of NC members.
3. Regardless of the number of members in a committee/task
force, no
constituency or the general assembly may have more than one vote
in any
actions that require voting.
4. Any committee/task force members who are not NC members must
be (1)
nominated by a DNSO constituency NC representative and be a
member of that
constituency, or (2) nominated by the chair of the DNSO General
Assembly and
be a member of the General Assembly.
Any variation from the above guidelines require the approval of
the NC. Any
NC committee/task force may form subcommittees to assist in its
work;
membership of such subcommittees is not restricted to the above
guidelines
provided that the committee/task force is ultimately responsible
for any
resulting work.
NC,
further to Friday's meeting please find below a proposed new
section 3 to the NC rules of procedure. (I have not mentioned working groups
as the Review TF is even now drafting rules for these based of WG E's
report).
Philip
Comments please by Thursday 5 July when I will issue an
amended version (if required) for approval.

3. NC committees and task forces
From time to time the NC may form sub-groups. These are
typically of three types. Each type may form small further sub-groups from
within their membership.
Interim committee – a preparatory group of around 3-5 NC
members charged with turning an idea into a proposed action plan. The interim
committee is dissolved following NC adoption of the action plan.
Committee – a small group of around 3-5 NC
members which has typically been delegated a limited authority from the
NC.
Task Force – a group equally representative of each NC
constituency (typically one from each) and typically charged with forming a
recommendation to the NC or implementing an agreed NC action plan. A task
force may comprise NC members and/or nominees from outside of the NC provided
that:
a) the nominee is nominated by a member of the NC
b) the nominee has the support of the three NC members of the
constituency
c) the nominee is a member of the nominees’ constituency
d) the nominee is not also a member of the same
ICANN-relevant organisation as an NC member on the task force, the NC member
taking priority at any time
e) no two nominees are members of the same ICANN-relevant
organisation, the first nominee taking priority
f) there is at least one NC member of the task force
g) the chair of the task force is an NC member.
Note: An ICANN-relevant organisation is defined as one that
any NC member considers to be ICANN-relevant. [end
