[ga] NC recommendation on the GA
GA,
Let me provide context to recommendation 24 from the Names Council. This was based on an earlier analysis of the current two roles of the GA provided by the GA Chair: 1. a forum for broad inter-constituency exchange 2. a channel by which individuals and parties not fitting into the constituency scheme participate in policy-making. The recommendations' objective is to KEEP those two roles and IMPROVE both of them by a separation. Don't be confused by use of the generic term "general assembly". The second objective is captured in recommendation 25, which seems not to have been posted before. And an earlier recommendation (19), also sought to incorporate new stakeholders. Philip --------------------------------- Recommendation 24 – general assembly. The gTLD policy development body should have a general assembly whose prime role is to provide a forum for broad inter-constituency exchange. Consequently, membership should be limited to the agreed stakeholders who are represented in the policy development body. .....
Recommendation 25 – public consultation There should be public consultation on proposed new policy within strict time limits, typically not to exceed 30 days. Such consultation should serve as the channel by which individuals and parties not fitting into the stakeholders/ constituency scheme participate in policy-making. Fora of self-declared interested parties should be specifically requested for input during such consultation. The necessary financial and human resources will need to be made available for public consultation. ..... Recommendation 19 - Other
stakeholders. Other stakeholders, such as individual domain name holders,
could be added subject to the requirements of the Names Council "Criteria for
establishing new DNSO constituencies" as set out in the NC rules of procedure at
www.dnso.org.
