Dear friends:<br>
<br>
The Chair of the Task Force, Philip Sheppard, offered a report draft to
comment.<br>
<br>
Please see attached the document.<br>
<br>
My first comments could be read in
<a href="http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/nc-str/Arc00/msg00083.html" eudora="autourl">http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/nc-str/Arc00/msg00083.</a><a href="http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/nc-str/Arc00/msg00083.html" eudora="autourl">html<br>
<br>
</a>I'd like to call your attention in the Dave's (GA rep. in the TF)
proposal which have been included in the draft report by the chair with
this redaction.<br>
<br>
--------<br>
<br>
<font size=4>3. <b>Policy support to the Board</b>. Against an objective
to provide policy input to the Board, the TF recommends that the three
members of the proposed At-large administrative council are given
membership of the DNSO Names Council, and participate within that body
exercising voting and other policy-related privileges in the same way as
the three representatives of the DNSO constituencies. (The three
ALSO reps would have no vote in the election of DNSO Board members).
<br>
<br>
This solves at a stroke three issues:<br>
</font><font face="Wingdings" size=4>§<x-tab> </x-tab></font>the
likelihood of contradictory or confusing advise reaching the Board from
the DNSO and the ALSO<br>
<font face="Wingdings" size=4>§<x-tab> </x-tab></font>creating
a clear mechanism for ALSO/DNSO policy interaction. <br>
<font face="Wingdings" size=4>§<x-tab> </x-tab></font>avoiding
duplication by DNSO constituencies in policy work in both the DNSO and
ALSO.<br>
<br>
Mechanistic details:<br>
1. ALSO is formed and directly elects 6 Board members.<br>
2. ALSO also elects 12 member Administrative Council (as ALSC proposal
but with an administrative role to organise the SO and outreach downwards
on policy)<font size=4> <br>
</font>3. ALSO Administrative Council selects 3 members (or the 3 top
geographically diverse of the directly-elected council election list)
appointed to Names Council to input on policy matters. <br>
4. The individuals petitioning for an individual domain name holders
constituency within the DNSO are encouraged to participate in the ALSO
and become AL Administrative Council members and reps to the
NC.<font size=4> <br>
</font>5. The GA reverts to its intended role of uniting all DNSO
constituencies (and expands to include the AL Administrative Council and
NC reps).<font size=4> <br>
</font> <br>
---------<br>
<br>
It is a new proposal which should be discussed in the constituency. My
first reaction is that there is a confusion in relation with the role of
the AL membership and the Individual Domain Name Holders representation
in domain name's related matters.<br>
<br>
I suggest to read the concerns expressed by the IPC's representative
about this point in <br>
