Re: (SCL > 6): [council] ICANN Board Votes to Enhance New gTLDs Competition
The old Bylaws said that an organization could be a member of more than one Constituency. I would have sworn that the new Bylaws explicitly said that you could not participate in multiple SG and had to choose, but I cannot find that clause there. Is there a rule in either SG charter about multiple memberships?? Alan At 10/11/2010 02:18 AM, Adrian Kinderis wrote:

I believe the revised Bylaws GNSO provisions require that someone may not vote in more than one SG or Constituency.

Right. So you can be a member of each. Just not a voting member.

As Avri pointed out to Rosemary, this is not in the Bylaws but in the GNSO Improvement recommendations approved by the Board and currently being implemented in SG and Constituency charters.

Yup, I saw that. Thanks to Avri for her research work, and for you for pointing out that critical line in the RySG charter that I missed. Alan At 11/11/2010 09:09 AM, Gomes, Chuck wrote:

I was sure that the Bylaws said that also, but all I can find is in Section 2: "Except as otherwise defined in these Bylaws, the four Stakeholder Groups and the Constituencies will be responsible for defining their own charters with the approval of their members and of the ICANN Board of Directors." The RrSG does say "2.1. Eligibility - Only ICANN Accredited Registrars are eligible for membership in the Registrar Stakeholder Group ("Members"). In keeping with the selective membership criteria of other GNSO constituencies, the Registrar Stakeholder Group represents the interests of a specific sector, specifically those of ICANN Accredited Registrars. Therefore to avoid conflicts of interest, this typically excludes entities whose primary relationship with ICANN is as a TLD Registry Operator." but it is not clear how one would determine "primary relationship" in the future. I can find no such prohibition in the RySG charter. Regardless, if we stick with the current organization (and I am not sure anyone has the stomach to change again now), it will be interesting.
