21 May 2001

Vote on 2 motions for the DNSO GA 

  * Motion "Individuals' Constituency" submitted for vote: 
       The General Assembly of the DNSO resolves to express its support
       for the immediate acknowledgement of an Individuals' Constituency
       (a constituency of Individual Domain Name holders) by the ICANN
       Board in accordance with its Bylaws. The General Assembly of the
       DNSO recommends to the ICANN Board that it place either the creation
       of such an Individuals' Constituency or the "approval in principle"
       on its agenda for a decision at the Stockholm plenary session.

  * Motion "to fund the DNSO and all other ICANN Supporting Organizations" 
    submitted for vote: 
       The General Assembly of the DNSO hereby petitions the ICANN Board
       to fund the DNSO and all other ICANN Supporting Organizations with
       funding adequate for the operation and administration of such
       Supporting Organizations (all monies donated to be allocated
       and disbursed from ICANN central accounts). The General Assembly
       of the DNSO further asks for formal inclusion in the overall
       ICANN Budgetary process.
