Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I don't think
that what the Board does
or is to do is "recognize a group" -- or at least
I hope that is not the case.
That starts a cat fight, with this group
battling that one for the big prize,
during which time the Board can just
lay back. I think it is (or ought to
be) a step-by-step process, the first
and really significant step being a
resolution to the effect that "there
will indeed be an Individuals Constituency
(by whatever
name)." Qualifications and acceptance ("recognition") are steps
appropriate to the accreditation of registrars, but are not appropriate
here.
In order to bring an IC about, I have previously argued that since the
Board
(rightly) has to have assurance that such a constituency really
exists, and also
has the smarts to self-organize and then operate, the
"marketing" of those
propositions really ought to include providing a
draft charter. But not a
bunch of them -- if the Board had
the inclination to put off the formation
of an IC forever, a better
strategy to do so could hardly be conceived.
I would prefer to see a
single charter, put together not as some kind of
finished work by this
clique or that, but rather one that had been arrived
at through the
"tumult" of this list so as to arrive at some result on which
some
kind of consensus had been reached, very likely through our polls
(and a
whole lot of interchange first, with proposed amendments pouring in
and getting accepted or tossed throughout the course of the
discussion, and
not just after the Chair has already announced the
vote as seems now to be
occurring).
It was a "lack of consensus," you may recall, that those 11,000 trademark
attorneys hauled out in their opposition to the forming of an IC, and
there
would hardly seem to be a better way to create such an impression
than by
using a system that pitted this group against that for supremacy.
The existence of an involved constituency could hardly be proven better
than by what I have suggested, the proof of capability would be there in
that draft charter for all eyes to see, and the next step, actually to
establish
the IC out of that charter (or something close thereto), would
be practically
self executing if the Board were open to the proposition at
all.

Hi Ken:
We have being discussed for sometime about what the By-Laws says and the
interpretation that everyone gives to them.
Some says that a constituency has to be self organized first (with
charter, etc) in order to
be created, I say based on from what I
read in the By-Laws that a
constituency
first is created, then
self-organized with charter,etc (by one or
different groups) and then
ICANN Board recognizes the group they think
will represent better the
constituency.
However, at the end, I haven't heard anyone from the ICANN Board and/or
ICANN Board staff stating or clarifying things.
Should the NC request a clarification on the Board about this issue
maybe?
Best Regards
Vany
:-)
