Subject: [council] Draft Revisions Bylaws - GNSO Restructure
Please find attached a proposed red-line of the proposed
draft by-laws revision.
These are submitted for discussion and are preliminary.
There are submitted on behalf of the BC, IPC, and ISPs.
Highlights include:
- the naming of certain SGs and Houses. In particular the
House to which we will belong should be referred to as the
"Users & Providers House". As agreed with our non-commercial
colleagues in Mexico we do not wish to be defined in the
negative! The addition of "providers" to "Users" reflects
the unique nature of the ISPs.
- specificity on the Nom Com
- a placemark on seat numbers for the NCISG.
Notwithstanding these comments, Council should be aware that
the recent petition from the IDN group for a constituency
seems to drive a coach and horses through the neat division
of Council into two Houses. That petition seeks to create a
Constituency of inter alia registries, registrars, commercial
and non-commercial bodies. With apologies to Jeff Beck, this
constituency would appear to be: "everywhere and nowhere
baby, that's where you're at."
