Re: [nc-budget] MY RECOLLECTION OF OUR RESOLUTION OF TODAY

[Nilda Vany Martinez Grajales <vany@sdnp.org.pa>]

Dear Roger:

I didn't know that the Budget Commitee had the power to take decisions of this
kind.   I though that the last word had to be voted by the Names Council itself.

Also I didn't know (until you sent yestarday the e-mail saying that there won't
be cost from ICANN to manage DNSO funds voluntarily collected).

Of course, my previous e-mail was clear about that I would prefer another
organization non-profit managing such funds.   

However, I must say that, due decision was taken (I suppouse by majority), then
at least the I must say that, it is right to ask to ICANN to proceed in
accordance of the instructions of the Names Council.

In the even that the administrators of fund not be ICANN, please would anyone
of you explain me why it was decided that such organization be in France?  Is
there anything special or any advantage in France that maybe is not in another
country?   

Why to create an new organization?  If such organization is to be created I
wish to know under what basis?  Who will be the members or the Board or such
organization and what basis they will be elected?  

Thanks a lot in advance for answer me this questions, since I expressed a
different position in a previous e-mail and I think that before exposing this
to the Names Council this issue, we have to explain them "why" and "how".  

Cheers
Vany
