[ga] IC charter draft, modification of membership criteria

[Joop Teernstra <terastra@terabytz.co.nz>]

I have posted a new simplified wording for the IC membership criteria on 
the GA-icann list.
I would like to discuss it there, but possibly many GA members with an 
interest in an Individuals' Constituency are not subscribed to that list.

For your information: the fourth draft of the Constituency Charter is up at 
www.democracy.org.nz/iccharter.htm

With apologies to Joanna the wording is now:
Constituency Membership criteria

4.1. IC constituency membership is open to any person who is an individual 
domain name holder.
4.2 An Individual Domain Name Holder is any person who can demonstrate a 
level of control over a registered Domain Name that a reasonable person 
would conclude to be equivalent to having Title to that Domain Name.

Examples of evidence of such "color of Title":
(i) applicant's name as Registrant on domain contact information
(ii) applicant's funds used to pay registration fees
(iii) evidence that the applicant may cause the domain name to be 
relinquished or de-registered
(iv) evidence that the applicant is the beneficial holder of any domain 
name that is registered or operated by a third party
(v) Where the applicant does not hold direct control over the domain name, 
written evidence that the controlling party is acting on instructions of 
the beneficial holder and that such instructions may be withdrawn at the 
applicant's sole discretion.

Please contribute to further improvements to this Charter.
Personally, I would like to change 4.1 into

4.1. IC constituency membership is open to any person who is an individual 
domain name holder and who has paid the yearly Constituency membership fee.

But then the article about Funding needs your input too. :-)
