RE: [ga] More BC Shenanigans

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@verisign.com>]

I don't know if I am missing something here but the ICANN Bylaws state the
following in Article VI-B:

"Section 3. THE CONSTITUENCIES

(a) Each Constituency shall self-organize, and shall determine its own
criteria for participation, except that no individual or entity shall be
excluded from participation in a Constituency merely because of
participation in another Constituency, .. "

How is the following possible within the Bylaws requirements?  "No ISP,
Registrar, gTLD can be a Member of the BC."

Dear Danny,
I suppose you missed the following :-)

<quote>
It is therefore crucial that the Business Constituency remain independent 
from other constituencies whose primary role is to formulate views from the 
exclusive perspective of such service providers, as well as from other 
groups whose interests may not be aligned with business users.

No ISP, Registrar, gTLD can be a Member of the BC. Marilyn Cade and Grant 
Forsyth companies are not in such businesses as to provide access to the 
Internet, to sell or provide domain name resgitration service.

Much like the previous charter. MCI is no more in telecom/internet business 
than ATT. So Mailyn has every reason to replace Theresa.
Anyway, Danny, Members have voted that proposition, haven't we? Oh, we have 
not, hmmmm...

I promized my wife to go out and have some Champaign the day I vote at the 
BC. Thx to them I am saving my money :-)
