[ncdnhc-discuss] ISOC to bid on .org

[Milton Mueller]

The RFP makes it clear that whatever organization bids 
will need to attract significant support from the noncommercial
community as a whole. Let's see what ISOC/Afilias proposes
before prejudging it. 

I think that Board recusals would be a very interesting
problem in ISOC's case. Cerf, ICANN's former CEO Roberts,
Jun, Pisanty, and perhaps others are or have been BoT
members. Even Karl is still I think a member.

Afilias also has the slight problem of partial ownership
by VeriSign.

At any rate, Given ISOC's status as a quasi-commercial
trade association, I would think it could not stand on its own
in this competition; it would need support from other 
organizations. Let's see what happens.

Who on the ICANN  board will have to recuse themselves over this bid?
