[council] Resolutions on reform 2 - amended after NC discussion
Proposed NC resolution (2) amended (some
whereas clauses deleted)
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 basis for stakeholder representation in ICANN
SOs to date has been to give equal votes to each affected stakeholder
constituency;
3. Whereas the report suggests a significant change in the
voting balance of ICANN stakeholders to be represented in the new Generic Name
Supporting Organisation (GNSO) council whereby it gives twice as many votes to
the two stakeholders who have contracts with ICANN (gTLD registries and
registrars);
4. Whereas the 4+4+3 proposed voting structure gives a veto to the
contracted suppliers over all ICANN consensus policies, thus negating the
balancing role of the three neutral council members,
The NC therefore resolves that:
any variation from the principle of equal stakeholder constituency
representation and votes in the proposed GNSO council is unacceptable.
