[ncdnhc-discuss] Membership Status of Silicon Valley PublicAccess Link

Milton, No, discuss it on the list then take action.  You acted as an 
adcom member and spoke for the constituency.  We have ways of dealing 
with membership issues, we do it in the open on the member list (as 
we did with Potter Yachts and FRAX.)

You don't like Dave Crocker, so you took it upon yourself to try and 
shaft him.  You were wrong so just apologize to Mr. Mazliach and Mr. 
Crocker for over stepping and be done with it.

Jefsey Morfin is the representative of another organization in 
another constituency. What double standard?

Thanks,

Adam

>>Dear Mr. Mazliach:
>>We appreciate your organization's membership in the
>>Noncommercial Domain Name Holders' Constituency
>>(NCDNHC) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned
>>Names and Numbers (ICANN)
>>
>>Currently your representative in NCDNHC is Mr.
>>David Crocker, an emeritus Board member of SVPA.
>>In order to avoid a conflict of interest, we would
>>request that your organization appoint a new
>>representative.
>>
>>Mr. Crocker is listed as a member of the Neustar
>>team which just successfully won the award
>>for management of the .us top-level domain.
>>In making domain name policy, there may be a
>>conflict of interest between Neustar's interests
>>as a commercial registry, and those of
>>noncommercial domain name holders. Of
>>course, as a bona fide noncommcerical
>>organization SVPA is still eligible.
>>
>>I'm sure you can agree that it would be
>>inappropriate for someone with such a large
>>stake in a commercial domain name
>>service provider to represent noncommercial
>>interests in the domain name policy making
>>process.
>>
>>This problem has arisen with a few other
>>organizations before, and our solution has
>>been to make sure that there are different
>>organizational representatives.
>>
>>Regards,
>>Dr. Milton Mueller,
>>Syracuse University
>>North American representative to the
>>Names Council for the NCDNHC
