RE: [ga] Possible Agenda Items for General Assembly meeting

["Roeland M.J. Meyer" <rmeyer@mhsc.com>]

... and now we come to the meat of the issue. The GA is not allowed to
do anything outside of a WG. It can not vote for NC seats, it has no NC
seats. Even the WGs are only advisory.

verdamnt ICANN....

Had we had the Paris DNSO draft instead, it would be a different story.
Failing that, the ORSC DNSO draft
<http://www.dnso.net/library/dnso-orsc.proposal.shtml>. Hell, a
matchbook cover would be better than what Esther foisted on us in
Singapore.

Dear Dr. Nii N. Quaynor,


In order to make the DNSO General Assembly meeting in Santiago
meaningful to members we will appreciate early input on possible agenda
items for consideration by the pNC. Please, participate and post your
suggestions on the GA list.

We look forward to receiving several rich suggestions from the GA to
make the meeting worthwhile for all participants.

It isn't apparent from the DNSO "descriptor" at
http://www.dnso.org/dnso/aboutdnso.html, what the General Assembly
(other than generating a board nominations) would do that isn't
already being done by the Names Council.  In other words,
the GA appears to have no real powers or function.

Do you have any thoughts on this?  Also, who controls
the work of the General Assembly?
