[registrars] Registrars: By law review

[williams@lizwilliams.net]

All

I undertook to provide a framework document that would help us move forward with a review of the RC bylaws.  There is general agreement that this is a necessary process and should be done as a matter of priority.

I've attached that document which outlines some suggestions for what to do.  I now, if everyone is OK with that, need a few (3 or 4 at most) volunteers to help me work through each of the by laws to ascertain what changes, amendments, improvements could be made on the following criteria:  strengthening the framework in which the RC operates to make it more efficient and effective and to strengthen the position of the RC with respect to both ICANN and the broader business community.

If anyone else is interested, please email me directly.  We can use all the help we can get to draft a comprehensive set of suggestions about the way forward.  I'd be delighted to see someone from Europe and someone from Latin America bring their perspective to this work - it is an open process which benefits from a range of views.

I'd expect that the timeframe would look something like:

15 Dec - review of bylaws completed

31 Jan - suggestions for improvements sought and integrated into a comprehensive document

15 Feb - distribute a document for discussion on RC list

pre-Ghana meeting - formal discussion of revised document
 

Kind regards - comments and input most welcome.

Liz
