[registrars] Fw: [council] terms of reference for new TF on Structure
Hi all,
Below is a message from the NC Chair re the
NC Task Force on the proposed ICANN re-structuring.
This issue of restructuring is a critical one for
the RC. Best case, a re-structuring could result in significantly improved
representation of Registrars in the ICANN decision making process - but
there is also a real danger that it could result in a further reduction of the
influence of the RC.
To ensure that the interests of Registrars are
protected, it critical that the RC
develop a position on this issue and put
forward:
* proposed objectives of any restructuring (ie.
spell out what we - and ICANN - should be trying to achieve);
* principles to be followed in any
re-structuring; and
* options supported by the RC
To be effective, we also need to work with other
constituencies to develop support and agreed positions.
I'd be interested in working on this and suggest we
form a group of interested people to prepare an position paper for comment by
the RC.
Meanwhile we need to nominate a rep to the NC
TF. I would be interested in serving on this and/or in otherwise assisting
in developing and negotiating a good result for Registrars.
Comments? Thoughts?
