"Recognizing that individuals who have registered domain names have a 
significant stake in domain name policy;

Recognizing that the creation of new DNSO constituencies is subject to the 
requirements of Article VI, Section 3 of the ICANN By-Laws;

Recognizing that there is a long-standing community consensus for the 
formation of a constituency for individuals who have registered domain names;

Recognizing that there have been difficulties in the formation of a stable 
entity to act as the basis for such a constituency;

The ICANN Board of Directors Resolves:

The ICANN Board of Directors declares its desire that there be formed a DNSO 
constituency for individuals who have registered domain names.
 
That the ICANN Board of Directors requests that the Internet Community 
self-organize and create one or more detailed and concrete proposals for a 
DNSO constituency for individuals who have registered domain names.
 
Such proposals shall be presented to ICANN before its year 2001 annual 
meeting. 
Such proposals shall describe at least the following: 

The proposed structure 
Sources of funding 
Criteria for membership 
Willingness to reconcile differences with others who have submitted proposals
 
The ICANN Board of Directors expresses its intention to promptly consider 
such proposals and hopes that a constituency for individuals who have 
registered domain names may soon be formed."
