RE: [ga] GA position on the Structure TF report

["Peter de Blanc" <pdeblanc@usvi.net>]

While I do not necessary agree with IPC recommendations, I do DISAGREE
about the (possible) ability of At-Large to pay, or to become a
financial force within ICANN.

With the voluntary or obligatory  donation  of only one US  dollar each,
the AT-Large could easily become an awesome financial force.

Subject: [ga] GA position on the Structure TF report


In a message posted to the IDNO list David Farrar writes:  "There is no
way 
at all any individuals constituency would be able to raise funds to
match 
what the business groups pay.  If there is ever an individual's
constituency 
the DNSO will have to recognise that individuals pay most of their money

through the registrars, ISPs and registries.  This is one reason I think
the 
possibility of having the ALSO perform a dual role as an individuals 
constituency within the DNSO has merit.  It will possibly avoid serious 
duplication of expenses."

The latest recommendation from the IPC to the NC Structure Task Force
Policy 
stipulates that ALSO input to the Board is only to be channeled by way
of the 
DNSO (in which the ALM would have a mere three votes in a 24-member
council), 
and further, "no policy recommendations would come from the ALSO
separately".

This proposition is a blatant attempt to attack the At-Large and should
not 
be supported by the GA's representative.
