[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?

Subject: [council] terms of reference for new TF on Structure

As agreed at Montevideo allow me to propose terms of reference for a new NC task force to consider the implications on the DNSO of current proposals which impact on the structure of ICANN decision making. Please let me have your support or comments for amendment by Friday September 21 and your nominations for participation.
