Peter,

Sorry about the location of the draft Charter document on the site 
currently used for the benefit of the idno.
To avoid confusion I will move the document to 
www.democracy.org.nz/iccharter.htm and also post it on ga-icann.

We are talking about an Individual Domain Name Holders' constituency. This 
is clear enough when you read it.
Since it is about a constituency of the DNSO (or whatever is left of it), 
the name is abreviated to IC. It could also be the IRC (Individual 
Registrants C). Whatever the consensus is.

The ALSC has now also come up with Individual DN Holders as "members" of ICANN.
If in their final position the criteria for membership of the two will be 
alike , then obviously, the two will merge.
(In the near-final draft of the ALSC they are not alike--the draft speaks 
about "contact" in their current definition of Individual Domain Name Holder.)

The DNSO constituency role is to be actively involved with policymaking and 
al Large members who are satisfied with electing regional directors or 
involvement in regional councils can restrict their participation to that.
Participation in the work of the DNSO would be the logical proving ground 
for candidate at Large Directors.

But the at Large is still in the future. The DNSO and its Individuals 
Constituency is here and now.
The Task Force now has a proposal to look at.
