What about something like this:

"... that any officer, employee, or board director of any ICANN recognized
gTLD registry not be permitted to participate in this constituency at any
level, in any capacity, for a period of one year since holding such position
and that our by-laws be amended to reflect this."

Tim - if this has been lost in the exchange somewhere, let me clarify
for the record - this is *precisely* the sentiment and intent of the
motion. I believe that it strikes an appropriate balance between these
two competing dynamics to the benefit of the constituency.

If there is a clearer way to word it, I am open to friendly amendments
of the motion.
