   What exactly are the substantive *differences* between the nearly
identical motions, both of which were supported the same people?  Jamie


Motion 1: WHEREAS a new open competition would allow the U.S. Department of
Commerce (the DoC) to consider both the ICANN Board proposal for
restructuring, and alternatives offered by others for managing key Internet
resources, while providing for a public record of the process for enhanced
visibility. . . . The General Assembly of the Domain name Supporting
Organization of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
asks the US Department of Commerce to have an open competition for the
services now provided by ICANN, provided that the new competition would
address the need to develop an international framework for DNS management


Motion 2.   Should the ICANN reform process fail to provide significant
improvements in these regards, it is the international Internet community's
and governments' task to consider how all of or parts of ICANN's
responsibilities could be transferred smoothly to one or more new or
existing organizations which are accountable to the international Internet
community as a whole, have clearly defined missions and are not only under
the sole control of a national department of commerce, without endangering
the stability of the DNS or the Internet as a whole.
