I do not see any reason why the contracted parties should have similar power as the non-contracted parties, for other reasons than keeping ICANN captured, of course.

Williams Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2008 9:32 AM To: ALAC; ALAC NA Discuss Cc: Peter Dengate Thrush; twomey@icann.org Subject: Re: [At-Large] Report to the ICANN Board of Directors from WG onGNSOCouncil Restructuring Dominik and all, If the below outlined report is correct, than it is clear that commercial interests have a significant advantage and the majority of power in the GNSO as Registries and Registrars are essentially commercial entities/businesses. Ergo no balance and essentially nothing has changed in the GNSO other than the "Names" of the specific representative groups. Further there is NO Independent Registrant representative in this proposed structure, and NO user-non-registrant reoresentative/ALAC. So I will now predict that there will be no significant change in the bahavior of Registries or Registrars and the abuses that have been occuring with increasing frequency will continue with even more increasing frequency. I will also predict here and now that with this proposed structure the IPC will get whatever it wants. Dominik Filipp wrote:
Cheryl,
After having read the last WG output at
https://st.icann.org/data/workspaces/alac/attachments/at_large_advisory_
committee:20080729041513-0-3574/files/FinalReport-GNSO-ImprovementsWG.pd
f
it seems like the proposed GNSO restructuralization could be as follows (Attachment A)
------------------------------ 2 houses - contracted and non-contracted parties/constituencies, 2 parties in each house
House 1 - Contracted party house consists of 2 (registry and registrar) constituencies House 2 - Non-contracted party house consists of 2 (commercial and non-commercial) parties/constituencies
that is, 4 parties/constituencies in both the houses collectively.
The GNSO Council (given that the lowest proposed number of members are
considered)
House 1 Registries - 3 members Registrars - 3 members
House 2 Commercial - 5 members Non-commercial - 5 members
and also
Equal number of votes between registries and registrars. Equal number of votes between commercial and non-commercial users. ------------------------------
Do I understand the proposal correctly, Cheryl?
If so, there is a question I could not find an answer to.
Q: What is the proposed number of votes for each of the four GNSO Council parties?
Thanks
Dominik

At-Large. please note that earlier today the ALAC Executive and our representative on this WG Alan Greenberg, met and discussed our desire
to have a formal ALAC Statement to the Board on this matter.

ALAC this serves as the start of the 7 day minimum notice required for a formal vote to be taken (between meetings) on this matter and in the
next 24hrs further background documents and proposed expansion of this
statement will be posted and a Big Pulse vote be created for the purpose of recording your views to 1. Endorse the proposed document an ALAC Statement, 2. Vote against the proposal or 3. Abstain.
More in the next 24hrs.
