[wg-review] 11. IDNH - Clean Motion


 

Motion by Chris McElroy & David Farrar

> "The WG Review has reached a near consensus

> >that a new Constituency be added to represent Individual Domain Name

> >Registrants. This WG has not addressed the matter of how to implement this

> new Constituency, neither has it proposed what group should represent them, nor

> >how it is to be formed. We only present that one should be formed or

> >selected within six months.

> We specifically propose a dedicated working group be set up to come up with specific proposals and options

> on the structure and functioning of the constituency.

>

> >We ask that this process be expedited in this

> >way because we believe it to be an oversight not to have included them in

> >the process from the beginning. Furthermore, we hope this matter would be put

> on the agenda as a top priority and that public comment will be sought on how

> this constituency shall be formed.

> How an individual domain name registrants constituency shall contribute to the funding of ICANN and

> the DNSO needs to be examined by the dedicated working group. There

> is a view that such registrants already indirectly fund ICANN and DNSO

> through their domain name fees which largely fund the Registrar,

> Registry and ccTLD constituencies and this should be evaluated and

> negotiated with those constituencies."

Statement by Joop Teenstra> >

> > >The @large is

> > >1. a disorganized group of all Internet users' diverse interests.

> > >2. without Charter or Mission statement

> > >3. without means of the members to contact each other

> > >4. subject to a Study that may reduce its representation on the Board or do

> > >away with it altogether

> > >5. represented by Directors that may be representing interests directly

> > >opposed to typical DN holders' interests.

> > >6. top-down and controlled by ICANN staff.

> > >7. Unable to provide policy formulations to the ICANN Board

> > >

> > >An Individual Domain Name Owners constituency is:

> > >1. formed naturally by people with a common interest-- bottom up and in

> > >control of its own Charter and destiny

> > >2. part of the DNSO where Domain Name Policy initiatives are developed

> > >3. a place where any Domain Name Owner gets a chance to be part of the

> > >policymaking process, (and get the results to the attention of the Board)

> > >via its own elected officers

> > >4. a counterweight in the DNSO, giving it an opportunity to be

> considerably more legitimate than it is now.
