[NCUC-DISCUSS] Bylaws: Join With Us!

[Carlos A. Afonso]

Thanks, Ed. I appreciate your efforts (as well as Bill's and Tapani's) 
on this. I am sort of handicapped by a tsunami of tasks in Brazil, 
compounded by a family health problem (my 92-yr old mom, who is ok now 
after nearly a month).

I will try to contribute. A quick note right now. I am not sure that 
NCUC bylaws need to be under California's legislation, or even US 
legislation. If so many of us (within and out of NCUC) are seeking ways 
to build truly international governance on a multistakeholder basis, how 
about trying to do our bylaws to reflect this vision, and not tie it to 
a particular State? Unless, of course, this would mean being expelled 
from the ICANN realm. After all, bylaws for a group do not need official 
incorporation -- unless, again, we decide to create an NGO or such.

Am I delirious here?

fraternal regards
