Re: [council] Task Forces and diversity
YJ,
ref your question on "ICANN relevant organisation" in our
rules of procedure.
What are we trying to avoid?
Domination of a sub-group by a vested Interest
How do we define vested
interest?
Difficult! This is why we came up with the phrase "ICANN
relevant organisation".
This allows exclusion of domination by a vested
interest.
What is an "ICANN irrelevant"
organisation?
The Boy Scouts, International Bird Watchers League,
International Public Relations Association etc i.e. if two people are
members of the same organisation, this should not be absolute grounds for
exclusion.
How do we define "ICANN relevant organisation"
?
The rules say: "An ICANN-relevant organisation is defined as
one that any NC member considers to be ICANN-relevant. "
If an NC member says Versign is "ICANN -relevant" we all
agree. If an NC member says the Boy Scouts are relevant, there may be
disagreement. If so we can talk about it on the NC.
Hope this helps.
Philip
