Violation of ICANN Bylaws (was Re: [ncdnhc-discuss] FYI)

Kathy:

Do you mean to say that you believe that the "Potter Yachters" is an 
organization representing Registries, Registrars, or ISPs, or have you lost 
the thread of this original discussion point? I find it unacceptable that 
Kent has been deprived of his vote merely because he participates in 
another constituency, where he represents a different entity from the 
Potter Yachters. I believe this ruling by Dany violates the ICANN bylaws, 
as cited in  my earlier posting.

If the Chairman of the Red Cross wanted to participate in the NCC, even 
though he happens to be the CEO of a private company, would he thus be 
excluded as well?
