[ncdnhc-discuss] Names Council Resolutions

[Adam Peake]

2 & 3 are fine and NC should support.  Suggest a friendly amendment of 1:

"The proposed GNSO council should have three representatives per 
constituency. This situation will be reviewed 12 months after the 
formation of the council."


I think it would be helpful to have some language to say that this 
resolution in no way precludes the creation of new constituencies as 
recommended by the ERC, but I'm not sure how to say it and suspect it 
would raise objections (even thou the ERC suggests it should happen.) 
The issue of new constituencies is really a matter for a new 
resolution, one that has language more positive toward the creation 
of constituencies than the NC's previous statements on the subject.

Thanks,

Adam
