The Bylaws of ICANN request that the Names Council elects a
Chair to the General Assembly. Under Article VI-B, Section 4
of the Bylaws (http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm):
(a) The GA shall be an open forum for
participation in the work of the DNSO, and open to
all who are willing to contribute effort to the
work of the DNSO. The participants in the GA
should be individuals who have a knowledge of and
an interest in issues pertaining to the areas for
which the DNSO has primary responsibility, and who
are willing to contribute time, effort and
expertise to the work of the DNSO, including work
item proposal and development, discussion of work
items, draft document preparation, and
participation in research and drafting committees
and working groups.
(b) The GA shall meet at least once a year, if
possible in conjunction with regularly scheduled
meetings of the Board. To the maximum extent
practicable, all meetings should be available for
online attendance as well as physical attendance.
(c) The costs of GA meetings shall be the
responsibility of the DNSO, which may levy an
equitable, cost-based fee on GA attendees to
recoup those costs. There shall be no other fees
required to participate in the GA.
(d) Participants in the GA shall nominate,
pursuant to procedures adopted by the NC and
approved by the Board, persons to serve on the
Board in those seats reserved for the DNSO.
