[council] Individuals' Constituency -- The way forward


With regard to an individual's constituency, Vint Cerf made it clear in 
Stockholm that the Board noted the GA's communication on the topic, and 
further stated that a "proposal should come through the NC."  He also 
commented that, "We would entertain any reasonable proposal in accordance 
with Bylaws." 

As the current Interim report of the Review Task Force does not appear to 
offer a reasonable proposal to expedite the creation of such a constituency, 
perhaps the NC would instead consider adopting the following language:

"In recognition of the relentless demand for an individuals constituency and 
the acknowledged need for better representation of individuals in the ICANN 
process, the Names Council of the Domain Name Supporting Organization 
resolves to advise the ICANN Board to create such new Constituency upon its 
own motion, as such action would serve the purposes of the Corporation, and 
would be in accordance with the spirit of the Bylaws."
