[ga] Acceptance of Nomination as GA rep on the Review Task Force


I have been nominated by Danny Younger, informally on this list and 
by  Joanna Lane formally to ga-nominations.

If you find me worthy of your vote, I accept the task.
I have sent this template back to ga-nominations:

1a. Full name of the nominee: Joop Teernstra
1b. E-mail address of the nominee: terastra@terabytz.co.nz
1c. Background information about the nominee:

Age 56. Married, two teenage children.
Law degree from Amsterdam University; owner of a small webdesign company in 
New Zealand.
Independent.
Founder of the Cyberspace Association, a bottom-up organization seeking 
representation for Individual Domain Name Holders in the DNSO; 
(www.democracy.org.nz/idno/)
Creator of the Polling Booth, a secure on-line Polling/Voting  tool 
designed to help make on-line democracy easier.

Participant in the ICANN formation process since the White 
paper;  participant in the drafting process of the bylaws for the DNSO 
itself (Singapore).
Petitioner to the ICANN Board (Berlin, 1999) for the recognition of an 
Individual Domain Name Owners' constituency.
Mover of several  GA resolutions (Santiago, Yokohama and  Melbourne) 
addressing the lack of an Individual DN holders' constituency in the DNSO.
Active participant in WG-review, the working Goup tasked with submitting 
consensus proposals on DNSO reform to the Names Council.

Recently elected Councillor for InternetNZ, (formerly ISOCNZ) the 
democratically structured delegatee of .nz



1d. Statement of the nominee's objectives in the role as GA delegate to the 
NC Review TF:

I will bring the perspective of the Individual Domain Name Holder as a 
stakeholder in the DNS to the Task Force.
I will share my experiences with the attempted organizing of the Individual 
DN holders with the other members of the  Task Force, including the lessons 
learned about on-line democracy, its pitfalls and its necessity.
I will help drafting the form that such Constituency should take in order 
to be stable and viable, so that the Names Council will be able to 
confidently advise the ICANN Board about its inclusion.
I hope to persuade the Task Force and the Names Council, that such 
inclusion will contribute to a greater viability and credibility of the 
DNSO itself.

I know that this is the wish of the majority of the General Assembly.
