Seconded.
There is nothing to stop us from proceeding with an election of all
endorsed candidates.

Roberto and all remaining members,

Whereas it is not a requirement of the GA that members of the voting roster
must also subscribe to the GA mailing list.
Whereas the standard procedure for determining the will of all those
affected by election procedure is by Ballot of the Voting Roster prepared by
the DNSO Secretariat.
Whereas All candidates for GA Chair and Alternate Chair who have accepted
the nomination, and had at least two endorsements from members of the voting
roster of the General Assembly, are considered candidates, under rules
approved by Ballot of the GA for the 2001 election.

Whereas  the DNSO Chair and Alternate Chair Election Rules posted to the
DNSO website on March 16th give a clear description of  the process used to
select the nominee in accordance with the 2001 rules communicated to the GA.

Whereas at its 1999 meeting in LA the NC indicated that it would be guided
by the GA in appointing a new GA Chair.
Whereas a DECISION of NC taken in February 2001 to invite the GA to manage
an election process to select a nominee for appointment by the NC to the
position of Chair of the GA was unanimously approved by council members.
Whereas on March 29, immediately prior to closure of the endorsement period
of the 2001 election, the GA Alternate Chair announced to the GA ML that
under NC rules adopted for the 1999 Election that none of the candidates
have enough endorsements to be considered by the Names Council according to
the rules of the NC selection, which rules increase the number of
endorsements required by 8 (eight) and require the names of all candidates
with 10 (ten) or more endorsements to be put forward for the NC to make the
final selection for GA Chair and Alternate Chair, these being in opposition
to 2001 rules.  http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc06/msg01473.html

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the General Assembly ( in their capacity as
managers of the 2001 election process to select a nominee for appointment by
the NC to the positions of Chair and Alternate Chair of the GA) to dismiss
the Rules applied to the previous election in 1999.
__________________________________________
The above Resolution to be put to the voting roster by Ballot prepared by
DNSO Secretariat, to run in tandem with the election process currently
underway.
