[ncdnhc-discuss] ccSO

[Nilda Vany Martinez Grajales]

Dear Raul:

Thank you for iniciate this discussion.

Yes, the ccTLDs are underrepresented inside the DNSO.  The
Non-Commercial interest also are.
However, this facts doesn't means that now the ccTLDs has to go beyond
the DNSO to search representation.

I think ccTLDs has to find a solution inside DNSO instead of a solution
outside DNSO.  

Also, I have heard arguments  as that ISPs are overrepresented in the
Board because ASO
are composed mostly from ISPs.  Well, I also may say that many of those
ISPs are also
ccTLDs and, without fear to be wrong, many ccTLDs have IP blocks asigned
by RIRs and are voting members
in such RIRs. Are them underrrepresented then or overrepresented in the
Board?  The right answer is "none of them", because
in the Board doesn't exists such representation by sectors according to
ICANN By-Laws.

What is the issue of ccTLDs?  About underrrepresentation inside DNSO? 
Or about underrepresentation in the Board? 
I may remember to all ccTLDs (as a ccTLD manager reminded me some time
ago, regarding other representation
issue not related with ccTLDs) that Board members are not representing
any sector, organization, interests, etc.

Also another reason to not create any other SO like ccSO is the fact
that ccSO is not a Technical criteria.

The structure of SOs was designed to deal with three important Technical
issues of the Internet: Domain Names,
IP Addreses and Protocol Parameters.   If any other SO would be added,
such one should be also another
Technical issue of the Internet that exists right now or may raise in
the future.  

Adding a ccSO or a Non-Commercial SO even a Registry SO, are not
Technical criteria.  Also
means represent sectors and interests in the Board.  And this would be
against the By-Laws.

Best Regards
Vany
