Proposal for Criteria
for Membership of DNSO/IDNH ( Basic Model
a - a direct GA of individual domain
name holders )
1.1.IDNH constituency membership is open to any
person who is an individual domain name holder
1.1 An
Individual Domain Name Holder
is any person who can
demonstrate a level of control over
a specified domain name that a reasonable person would conclude grants the individual person
the exclusive legal right
to exploit the specified domain name worldwide subject to applicable
laws.
1.2 Examples of items that may be submitted in
support of an application include but are not limited to
(i) evidence of
applicants name on domain contact information
(ii) evidence of applicant's funds used to pay registration
fees, if any
(iii) evidence that the applicant may cause the
domain name to be relinquished
(iv) evidence that the applicant is the
beneficial holder of any
domain name that is
registered or operated by a third party
(v) Where
the applicant does not hold direct control over the
domain name, written evidence must be provided that the controlling party is acting
on instructions of the beneficial holder and that such instructions may be withdrawn at
the applicants sole
discretion.
ADDITIONAL RULES
1.3 An individual shall not be entitled to more than one
membership of
IDNH
1.4
Where there is more than one holder of a single domain, that
domain would not meet criteria for
membership.
(Please elaborate here a little, unless 1.5 is the
clarification)
1.5 No single domain name may be used to
support membership of more than one individual.
1.6 The domain name used to meet criteria for membership shall not be a top level domain name or a reserved second level Domain name in
registries where this level is not open for individual registration.
(There are now registries or so-called registries
claiming to register .biz.com and other nonsense. You mean to exclude that as
a domain, right? The owner or holder of biz.com would be eligible, but not
something.biz.com, correct? Just clarifying that)
1.7. Membership is subject
to approval by the Committee
(i)
The Committee shall be elected by the membership of the
IDNH
(ii) Such committee shall examine the totality
of the facts.
(iii) Decisions of the
committee are final.
(iv) The membership committee shall have three
members.
(Should there be an appeal to a larger body instead
of decisions are final? That would eliminate the types of power grabs we seek
to eliminate, IMO)
1.9 A person who is a member of another DNSO
constituency shall not be eligible for full membership of IDNH, but may be invited to contribute to from time to time as guest, advisor or
consultant.
