RE: [ga] Additional Questions for our Board Candidates


Danny, could I ask that we slow down just a bit and allow the endorsement period to get started before demanding responses. I am sure that the candidates will be responsive to an organized approach to consult with the constituencies and GA.
 
However, I note that the nomination phase just closed, and we are now in endorsement phase. Perhaps we could let that play out a few days since that will be a useful exercise in and of itself.
 
I understand that some may feel that they need to ask questions before endorsing, of course, so I am merely suggesting that we, the  GA, give it a few days before appearing to set deadlines, or appear critical of the candidates for not responding immediately.

Subject: [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?
