[ga] DNSO Review - Questions on Constituencies

["Roberto Gaetano" <roberto.gaetano@voila.fr>]

*******************************************************************

B. Constituencies:

·	Are the constituencies a correct division? Are all DNSO interests 
adequately represented in the existing constituency groups? Do the 
current divisions aggregate individuals or entities with closely aligned
 interests and permit the development of focused positions?

·	Should the constituencies be reformulated by combining user 
constituencies?  By combining provider constituencies?  In some other 
way?

·	Is it up to each constituency to define its relationship with NC 
representatives or should the DNSO/ICANN have some minimal mandatory 
requirements for all?

·	What happens if an elected NC rep does not attend NC meetings, ignores
 constituency members? Is this up to the constituency to address, or 
should it be brought to the attention of the NC?

·	Are the constituencies fulfilling their role as open and transparent 
channels of dialogue and discussion toward the development of community 
consensus? Do they allow effective development of collective positions 
of those with similar interests?  Does this process promote the 
development of overall community consensus?

·	Does the current constituency division minimize the effectiveness of 
the DNSO and NC?

·	Are the constituencies adequately representing the intended members?  
Or are there important parts of the Internet Community that may need 
better representation?

·	Should there be a constituency for individuals, and if so, how should 
its membership be constituted?

·	How do you ensure that individuals who choose to form an individual 
constituency represent the vast interests of individuals ?

·	No constituencies have been added since the original seven 
constituencies were recognized (provisionally) in May 1999.  What should
 be the ongoing process for assessing whether the constituencies serving
 the goal of providing appropriate forums for affected stakeholder 
groups?
