Title: RE: [registrars] PersonalNames.com

I would support Mike's deliberate course of action, as long as we can get this done without delay.  Perhaps we should aim for final vote at DC meeting?

Hello All:

I have to finish finalizing plans for the DC meeting.

Rushing a by-law amendment through when the Constituency By-laws need to be
rewritten from the ground-up and then submitted to ICANN for approval this
July in connection the reorganization is not in my view a productive use of
time. But I am not going to oppose it.

Trying to be a diplomate in this process. If we pass the by-law amendment
next week, then we would have to exclude Hakon from participating in the
constituency. In such case PersonalNames is likely to appoint a person that
was not a director that would just posting emails on Hakon behalf. The
proposed by-law amendment is not exactly air tight to prevent the concerns
raised by some members.


My proposed course of action is as follows:

(1) Schedule a constituency call with GNR, PersonalNames and the Registrar
Constituency to voice our concerns and understand why they felt this
marketing move was necessary; Based on Elana's previous post I will try to
set this up for Friday or Monday.
(2) Ask Hakon to voluntarily designate another representative to the
constituency that does not meet the criteria of Ross' modified motion;
(3) After discussing this matter with GNR, PersonalNames, and Hakon then we
can decide how to incorporate this proposed by-law amendment into a by-law
rewrite.
