[wg-review] Proposal for ICANN Board electors and funding.

["Peter de Blanc" <pdeblanc@usvi.net>]

Try this:

1. refer to http://www.icann.org/general/icann-org-chart_frame.htm

2. Add IDNHC and others to DNSO

3. Each constituency in DNSO elects one board member - 8

4. Each Member is ASO elects one board member - 3

5. Each member of PSO elects one board member - 3

6. At Large elects 5 members.

7. While each board member would serve "the global internet community", it
would be natural that each board member would carry the mandate of their
respective electing group.

7. Each electing group with a board seat pays for ICANN budget divided by
total number of board members, times number of seats per electing group.

Example-

if there are 18 board members, DNSO groups have elected 8

Business
Non Commercial
ccTLD
gTLD
ISP
Registrar
Intell. Property
IDNHC

therefor pays 8 /18  or 4/9 of the total budget.  Each constituency pays
1/18 of the budget.

at US$ 6 million , this would equate to $ 333,333 per seat.

At-Large could charge "dues" of, say $ 10 to $ 25 per year.
Other groups could get commercial donors or sponsorships, with the
sponsor(s) getting a logo and credit  on that group's web page.

Representation with taxation, Everybody pays to play.
