Non-Commercial Constituency Resolution 
on At-Large Study Committee proposals 
Montevideo- September 7, 2001

Whereas: 
The existence of nine publicly elected At-Large Directors on the Board of
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a
fundamental element of ICANN's structural balance, and a valuable avenue for
input from a wide range of stakeholders in ICANN's decisions; and 

Various proposals being considered by the ICANN At-Large Study Committee may
alter or even eliminate the guarantee of nine At-Large Directors and ICANN
public elections,

Resolved, 
ICANN should [set aside at least 9 publicly elected At-Large seats on its
19-member Board of Directors] ensure that at least 50% of its Board seats
are publicly elected, non-ex-officio.
