[ga] BC exclusionary practices and GA funding

[Joanna Lane <jo-uk@rcn.com>]

Excellent work Roeland! It seems you have captured the GA consensus position
in wording that would be perfect for a Motion or Motions by the GA on these
issues. Since a formal Ballot is not possible at this time, I move that this
wording be Recognized by the Chair for a Poll (the next best thing) and that
a clean copy be re-submitted to this list, together with a notice to members
of a set period of time for members to vote on their agreement or
disagreement with the demands being made, and using a Time-Line that allows
for the Results to be Reported by the GA to the NC-intake committee,
together with a request for these items to be included in the Agenda as
pressing issues for consideration. The vote Intake Committee list closes 21
days prior to the next meeting. Supporting documentation may also be
attached.

Regards,
Joanna 


 
ITEM FOR CONSIDERATION BY NC INTAKE COMMITTEE FOR INCLUSION IN AGENDA
NOVEMBER 2001 NC MEETING:

Members of the DNSO GA are demanding that:

1: The ICANN BoD instruct the DNSO/BC to stop excluding potential members
> that are legally registered and constituted businesses for any reason. That
> such practices have already caused irrepairable harm and minimum
> compensatory action shall be to grant such membership, of previously
> excluded members, at no charge, for a period equal to the time that such
> exclusionary practices have been in effect (at least 3 years).
> 
> 2: The ICANN place the DNSO/GA on equal footing with the current DNSO names
> council, creating a bicameral DNSO. That the ICANN provide funding and
> support for a secure voting mechanism that the GA can use for its consensus
> building efforts. That the ICANN provide budget and staffing for the DNSO/GA
> to perform its functions. That the DNSO/GA be given ICANN BoD seats, to be
> filled by a representitive voting the recorded consensus of the DNSO/GA.
> That  such funding be derived from a $1US surcharge, per domain name, per
> year, from ICANN all registered domain names. That the GA shall have both an
> Advocate and a Consensus Leader, both elected positions of the DNSO/GA with
> budgetary control and responsibility for all DNSO/GA staff.
