NCDNHC - organizational conflict of interests. (Re: [ncdnhc-discuss] ICANN Board Solicits Input from NCC on .org Redelegation)

[Thomas Roessler]

Stuart, Harold, Milton,

there is a possibly grave conflict of interest with the NCDNHC  
evaluating .org proposals which should, in my opinion, be  
investigated carefully and thoroughly before any output from an  
NCDNHC evaluation of .org proposals can be taken into account:

 - To what extent would member organizations of the NCDNHC profit  
   from the suggestions in the individual proposals? (Besides  
   "non-profits" profting generically from the proposal, of course.)

 - To what extend woult the NCDNHC as a whole profit from the 
   suggestions in the individual proposals?

The second point is, in particular, applicable to the GNR proposal  
which would basically secure travel funding for the NCDNHC.  In this 
particular case, I'd VERY STRONGLY suggest that the constituency 
SHOULD NOT participate in the proposal's evaluation, since it's 
clearly an interested party.

(Note that I'm NOT AT ALL contesting the integrity of the  
individuals involved with this.)

Kind regards,
