[ncdnhc-discuss] Names Council Resolutions

Regarding the first Resolution:  The concept of three representatives per 
constituency "in perpetuity" is a horrible idea.  The ICANN Board has 
indicated their resolve to allow for the creation of provisional 
constituencies, mentioning the following as examples of groups that might 
self-organize to create such new constituencies:

Academic and public entities 
Individual domain name holders 
Consumer and civil society organizations 
Small business users 

It is my intent to participate with others to launch a Small Business 
Constituency, and I expect that registrants and other groups will similarly 
act to establish their own provisional constituencies (the academics and 
civil society groups within the NCDNHC might even decide to form their own 
body as well).  A 21-member Council is already sufficiently large, and adding 
3, 6, or 12 more members to this Council will create an unworkable 
environment.  

The original proposal in the Blueprint that called for 2 members per 
constituency makes a lot more sense than the latest proposals and resolutions 
tendered.
