Re: [wg-review] [IDNH] Criteria for Membership


Dear Philip,
IDNH is a Center of Interests. Anyone may participate in discussing positively individual domain name holding general issues there and post links to it.

I take my example:
1. own 4200 domain names, directly or indirectly for large local hub network and telephone oriented services.
2. I laso own roughly 300 domain names privately or though non profit organizations
3. I am a Mber of DNSO/BC and starts as reported to Portes dn Maca with atleast onether Members the SME CC to consider our specific Small Business problems
4. I am a member of the IDNO ExecCom which shows that I am interested and involved in defending idnoers rights

This only gives me more competences to understand what the IDNH work on and better contribute.

What Joanna works on may be used both to define the aea of interest of the IDNH Center of Interests and (for organizations like IDNO) to have a common definition of their constituency (american meaning). They will then beter benefit from the INDH advises and reports to the BoD. They will dialog in a simpler and more efficient way with the ICANN. When the IDNH enters the standard scheme of the DNSO (once it has been revamped by this WG-Review as a stanard SO), will permit everyone to benefit from a review of their input in an Individual Domain Name perspective and to make sure that every output of the IDNH may be reviewed by other SOs. Hence global coheence. The difference between a constituency and a center of interest is that the CI is open to all concerned by the discussed topic. It is less formal and can be far more productive (or less because less structured and therefore depening more on its Chair, but with Joana we have a good pusher !). At the end of the day the NC should be revised to be the conference of the Chairs of Constituencies and CIes (one pole of concern/one vote). proably the Chair of the GA should then also be the Chair of that NC: may be on a rotational basis.

Joanna,
I have a question of clarification on the proposed IDNH membership criteria.
Where is the distinction between a member of other users constituencies and the IDNH?
 
Example:
1. I own 500 domain names and sell them as part of my business. But I hold them in my own name not as a registered company. I chose not to join the Business Constituency. But I can join the IDNH ? Is this correct?  If the distinction is individual (for commercial purposes) v. organisation (for commercial purposes), where does the UK legal concept of sole trader come in (the right to trade as a business in your own name) ? Is the motivation for holding the name irrelevant with respect to IDNH membership?
 
2. Duplication. I own a domain name. I also represent my organisation in another constituency. The organisation is a member not me. Can I join the IDNH ?
 
3. Is the distinction with non-coms the same? ie Individual v. organisation as the domain name holder?
 
Philip.
