Subject: [ga] [Admin] Monitoring imposed

There have been two incidents recently of mail where the From: header of 
the message does not correspond with the writer of the message.

One, of unknown origin, was marked From: Roberto Gaetano.
One, claiming to be from Joe Baptista, was marked From: Kent Crispin.

Monitoring of posts sharing some characteristics with those postings has 
been imposed, and will remain in effect until July 26; we apologize for any 
inconvenience to legitimate postings sharing characteristics with the faked 
messages.

Note: At the moment, Jeff Williams is the only person barred from sending 
to the list. Most other messages rejected by the list software either comes 
from nonsubscribers or violates the crossposting rule.

Hello [email-masked],

Comment on the ICANN at-Large members constituency. Tasks, other than critical analysis of the executive, might be to determine whether AI techniques can be used to usefully model, predict and interpret the group dynamics of such membership groupings with particular respect to both consensus-driven and leadership-driven models and whether such an approach represents a useful intellectual addition to the 'self-interest', and 'real-politik' models of free social governance. Consideration will also be given, should interest be sufficient, to the question of the perceptuality of power sources within the units examined, as to whether the same structural phenomena may receive differing interpretation from different groups, leading to irreconciliable schismata. It is suggested that Robert's rules apply as to limitations of the universe of civil discourse. A first stage is to discover, by whetever means available, whether an elected representative, qua representative, is thereby disqu!
!
alified from passing the basic Turing test. A second problem is the application of game theory techniques to group development models.

I would like to see some discussion, if only to prove that the GA list can
still function as a discussion list.

Subject: [ga] [Admin] Suspension of posting rights for Joe Baptista

The list monitor has received a complaint from Kent Crispin about the 
message stored in the archives as 
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc04/msg00491.html

This message was not posted using the email address by which Joe Baptista
is known to the GA list.
Furthermore, its content is clearly intended to be a personal attack, 
offensive and insulting.
It is therefore not in accordance with the list rules.

The list monitor therefore rules that Joe Baptista has lost his posting
privilleges to the GA list for 8 weeks, this being the third time he has
lost his posting privilleges on this list.
The 8 weeks last until Sunday, August 6, 2000.

Decisions by the list monitor may be appealed to the GA chair.

Subject: [ga] Formalizing Voting Procedures for the DNSO GA

[ To: [email-masked], [email-masked] ]
[ To: WG's ]
[ To: [email-masked]]
[ To: [email-masked] ]

The DNSO General Assembly needs to formalize its voting procedures.
The very initial startup step consists to agree on the voting rules,
as proposed by Harald Alvestrand, Alternate Chair, and amended
according to the comments received, in:
    http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/2000.GA-voting-rules.html

Once the DNSO GA agree on the voting rules, the next step will
be to vote on the Voting Registry rules, in:
    http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/2000.GA-voting-registry.html

With the voting rules and Voting Registry established, the DNSO GA
will have its voting procedures completed, therefore ready for subsequent
decisions.

The vote on the voting rules will be announced by the GA
Chair, once discussion on the mailing list is finished.
