[ga] a reminder

A REMINDER:

Therefore it is resolved that:

   [Resolution 01.28] The Board asks the Names Council and other sources
   to separate their proposals into those that improve operations of the
   DNSO as it is constituted today and those which may result in changes
   in the structure of the DNSO and/or major changes in its functioning.

   [Resolution 01.29] The Board encourages input related to changes that
   improve operations of the DNSO as it is constituted today no later
   than April 16, 2001. Further Board action on the basis of that input
   will be scheduled at the end of that period."

In accordance with these resolutions, Names Council, working group,
constituency, and general assembly input related to improvements to the
operations of the DNSO as it is constituted today should be submitted by
16 April either to the web-based public comment forum at
<http://forum.icann.org/dnsoreview1/> or by sending an e-mail to
<mailto:touton@icann.org).


For the last several months all of us have had the opportunity to actively
participate in a review of the DNSO.    The origins of this review may be
traced back to the "Domain Name Supporting Organization Formation Concepts,
March 4, 1999"  http://www.icann.org/dnso-formation.html wherein it was
stated:

"The ICANN Board should periodically review the status of the constituency
groups to determine whether all DNSO interests are adequately represented."

One readily notes the substantive contributions of Jon Weinberg, Eric
Dierker, and many others in this process, a process that is now (at least
within the Review Working Group), culminating in a series of final
recommendations for DNSO improvement, both procedural and structural.

However, there are many that have chosen not to participate, not to offer
suggestions or even to offer constructive criticism.   You have been invited
to take hold of the opportunity to work from within ICANN for the betterment
of ICANN.   Two weeks remain for your recommendations to be submitted.   I
look forward to seeing your comments in the Public Forum.

Best regards,
Danny Younger
Member, Review Working Group
