[ga] Additional Questions for our Board Candidates
It's time that we started hearing from our Board candidates. If they intend to represent the DNSO, they should, at the very least, be responsive to the GA. We have already submitted four questions to our Board candidates; here are some more... let's hope we get a few more replies... 1. What are your thoughts regarding the decision of the ccTLD Constituency to withdraw from the DNSO? 2. Board Resolution 01.28 asked for proposals that may result in changes in the structure of the DNSO and/or major changes in its functioning. What proposals would you put forth? 3. What is your position on current registrar transfer policies? 4. What changes would you propose with respect to the UDRP? 5. Do you support suspending the voting rights of financially delinquent constituencies? 6. Small Business Owners account for perhaps 70% of all domain registrations yet this set of stakeholders does not appear to be well-represented in the ICANN process; how would you address this issue? 7. The At-Large Study Committee was given a budget of $450,000 in order to accomplish outreach and generate recommendations; the DNSO is similarly an internal working committee of ICANN that engages in outreach and generates recommendations, but it has never been given any financial support by ICANN. Do you believe that the DNSO should continue to be self-funding? 8. How would you evaluate the current TLD rollout? 9. What comments would you make regarding ICP-3? 10. It is now going on nine months since the new TLDs were selected and yet several registry contracts still remain to be signed; in view of the public's growing demand for new TLDs, how would you address this issue? 11. As new TLDs are launched, the prospect of collisions in namespace grows; how do you propose to solve this problem? 12. What is your position with respect to the future of .org? 13. What is your position regarding the sale of Bulk WHOIS data? 14. Is seven days sufficient time to review a registry contract? 15. When would you begin the next round of TLD selections?
