To make my mind clear, "yes", it is in order, even if it is not strictly
 related to DNS issues (and even this is arguable), because it is 
something inherent the life of the organization (ICANN) of which we are 
part of, as General Assembly of the DNSO.
We have a word to say on the ICANN Board, even if I have to agree with 
Kent, from the practical point of view it will be useless.
Even if the motion gets consensus, I am assuming you don't expect some 
Board Directors to resign, after all the efforts made to be there in 
first place, just because the GA/DNSO thinks so ;>).
We are not a decision-making body, at least for the matters related to 
ICANN Board composition, but it is in order for us to express our 
opinion. Of course, this has to be weighted with the other bodies (ASO, 
PSO, other parts of the DNSO, AtLarge, ...). That synthesis is left to 
the ICVANN Board, I assume.

Even if we will probably have not a lot of time to vote on the ML, for 
sure I will not prevent a debate (of limited duration) in MdR.

Roberto
