DNSO GA - A need for a vehicle of change to:Re: [ga] Motion asking for GA poll on rebid of ICANN contract

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Eric and all assembly members,

  We are not in the third day of this motion.  So far my count is that
12 GA members have supported/seconded Jamies motion.  Very
little debate on Jamies motion has taken place.  As Joanna and I
indicated, there is little need for debate on Jamies motion as it it
pretty straight forward.

  You are quite right here Eric that Thomas as chair is acting as a gate
keeper of a type.  That is not bad, but can be abused.  It seems fairly
obvious that our Chair is abusing his position so as to appear as
a dictator of sorts.  This is not productive or conducive to getting
the work of the GA members accomplished.  Hence a vehicle
for change such as Jamies motion is being squelched.  It has been
obvious for some time that change in the DNSO GA as well as all
of the DNSO is needed.  Two weeks ago Karl A. commented briefly
on this very point.  It is past time for such change in the DNSO as it
is in all of ICANN.

  But let us GA members not be dissuaded from our purpose, and
continue to try to move forward with actual work via motions and
resolutions as well as discussions and debates so as to serve as
many vehicles for change and progress...
