Jonathan,
I
would be happy to have Adrian make his presentation as long as it is appreciably
different than the deck we all saw in Beijing. I am sure it has evolved,
but can you confirm?
In fact, the rise of these kinds of associations may
be market evidence of the need for and, perhaps, how the organization of the
GNSO might be changed in the course of the up coming review. It is clear
that the prior segments are losing their stand-alone integrity as each
constituency is in the process of taking on the characteristics of
others.
We might find, in the discussion of the new association, a new
nomenclature for the community that could lead to a more modern
organization.
Cheers,
Berard

Subject: [council] Presentation from the
DNA
All,
I have
had a request from Adrian Kinderis (who some of you may know from his time as a
councillor) to present the DNA to the Council in a 15 minute session over the
weekend in Durban.
The Domain Name
Association (DNA) is a new non-profit global business association that
represents the interests of the domain name industry and it describes its mission as being
to:
“Promote
the interests of its members by advocating the use, adoption, and expansion of
domain names as the primary tool for users to navigate the
Internet.”
Please
indicate any interest, lack of interest or neutrality on
this.
Thanks,
Jonathan
