RE: [council] Task Forces and diversity

["Peter de Blanc" <pdeblanc@usvi.net>]

I support the section (h) that Elisabeth is proposing.

I am concerned about the balance, or potential lack thereof.

Philip,

I respectifuly disagree with the last statement:

I provided 4 candidates lawyers from ccTLD group, from 3 continents,
-- nobody else provided such geographic diversity, and the Chairs had
choice. The expertise in UDRP and Internet is related to the diversity
of various countries.

I maintain my objection to the composition of UDRP TF - this group is
not international.

Therefore I move a motion to the amendment we voted:
   http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20010706.NCprocedures-amendment.html

To be added to 3.3:

   h) the geographic diversity of TF must be granted, no one
      geographic region may be represented by more than one third
      of members in any TF

To be added to 3.5:

   The variations does not apply to the geographic diversity.
