[ga] Text of the motion...

["James Love" <james.love@cptech.org>]

Below was the text of the motion.   There has been not a lot of time, but a
fair amount of debate.  There is support for this motion.  There is
opposition to this motion.   It is not clear to me how a member of the GA
can get a vote.  As a matter of principle, I don't think I should have to
persuade the Chair of the GA that a measure should pass before it is voted
on.    The point of a vote is to find out what the members think, it seems
to me.  I apologize to the Chair if he was insulted by my earlier comment
that I didn't care what he thought of the merits of the proposal.  My point
was not intended as an insult, but explain something about procedure.  If
Thomas Roessler, who many believe to be hard working and sincere, can
explain to me, a mere member of the GA and not someone who devotes his life
to ICANN affairs, how to proceed, in plain language, I would be grateful.
(this is not meant to be ironical).

Subject: [ga] Motion asking for GA poll on rebid of ICANN contract
Ok, I make this as a motion, as follows:

"I move that the GA poll its members, to record its views on whether or not
the US Department of Commerce should have an open competition for the
services now provided by ICANN.  The rationale for asking for a rebid is
that ICANN has dramatically changed the intitial terms of refence for ICANN,
and is proposing even further changes, which have met extensive opposition
in the Internet community.   The rebid would allow the NTIA to consider
alternatives to the current ICANN plan for managing key Internet resources.
The vote should be taken within 10 days."
