[ga] POLICY -- DNSO GA Representation

[Eric Dierker <eric@HI-TEK.COM>]

The follow is from ICANN by-laws;

**Section 1. DESCRIPTION

    (a) The DNSO shall advise the Board with respect to policy issues
relating to the Domain Name System.

    (b) The DNSO shall consist of (i) a Names Council ("NC"), consisting
of representatives of constituencies as described in Section 3 of this
Article VI-B ("Constituencies") elected by those Constituencies and (ii)
a General Assembly ("GA"), consisting of all interested individuals and
entities.

There is no restrictive language on policy within this description!!
The GA which is a portion of the DNSO is not restricted to technical
policy issues.  The word *shall* is a mandate not a *may*.  The DNSO
must be made up of  the constituencies described.  Therefor if one of
those constituencies is absent there is no DNSO.

Also note that we have no entities except for Jeff Williams on behalf
of.

Also read it again and note that the GA is supposed to have direct
representation on the NC who is that?

Sincerely,
Eric
