RE: [ga] President Younger's Independence Day Address to the World

["Peter de Blanc" <pdeblanc@usvi.net>]

We need to separate this "Individual Domain Name Holders, and other
persons who are NOT a member of any constituency from those who ARE
members of a (DNSO) constituency.

Within the DNSO, of course the secretariat provides service to the
entire DNSO.

What is at issue, is who can request services from the secretariat, or
authorize incurring costs.

Historically, direction to the secretariat to set up lists, incur costs,
etc, has come from the Names Council, who represents the constituencies.
After all, the constituencies elected their NC reps.


Perhaps what is needed is a clear definition of who is authorized to
make these requests, and a procedure for GA chair to generate such
requests for authorization. 

Should the GA chair be able to generate such requests unilaterally?

Or

Should such requests be generated after consensus is reached on the
subject on the GA list or in face to face meetings

The GA is _supposed to be_ an umbrella organization encompassing all the
constituencies, so the idea that resources could be allocated to it
without charging those who participate in it a separate fee isn't that
hard to accept. I hope the current problem of this being a de facto
place for unaffiliated DNSO participants will be cured when an
individual domain name owners constituency is finally chartered and
operational.
