[council] Resolutions on reform 1 - amended after NC discussion
Proposed NC resolution (1) Amended (new text in
blue)
1. Whereas the ICANN Evolution and Reform Committee (ERC) has
published its second implementation report http://www.icann.org/committees/evol-reform/second-implementation-report-02sep02.htm
2. Whereas the NC has previously commented on the need to make
geographic diversity a reality within the proposed Generic Names Supporting
Organisation (GNSO) Council.
3. Whereas the NC has previously commented on the
need for constituencies to have sufficient council members to share
workload and allow for substitution where required.
4. Whereas the ERC's supposition that a 21 member council is
too big to be efficient is unproven and does not accord with the experience of
the Names Council.
5. Whereas the ERC has acknowledged the above in its proposal
to allow three representatives per constituency on the proposed GNSO council for
the first year only
The Names Council resolves that:
The proposed GNSO council should have three representatives
per constituency in perpetuity but that this situation be reviewed 12 months
after the formation of the council, so that an intelligent judgement may then be
made based on the merits of the competing arguments and 12 months experience.
A further review may also be neccesary
should new constituencies be created.
