There has been no support for it, either.  Your proposal has no merit.
The rules do not need to be modified as you say.  Your assumption that
they do is faulty.

Bottom line, there has not been sufficient support for your proposal
to warrant it being taken into consideration as a motion for the GA.

Subject: [ga] Position paper reforming reverse hijacking.

Now I assume that there are others like myself that have been involved
in an usavory mess that included losing a Domain Name to a large
corporation because when you spoke to a lawyer they wanted XXXXXXX
amount of money to defend your right to use and or just hold the name.
We have all discussed coke and coca-cola and we all recognize the
difference, that quite clearly you can register one and not the other by
right.  But we all recognize that you would also lose the former should
you not have the dough to defend.

LET US CALL THAT THE COKE THEORY SO IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REARGUED OR
SPELLED OUT EVERY POST - SORRY FOR NEW NEWBIES BUT THATS TOUGH.

For some reason the GA has never come up with an authoritive paper
against the existing UDRP and WIPO and ultra legislative extensions of
TM law.

I propose that we do here and now and draft it into a motion and
publish.

1.    There are existing adequate laws to cover all circumstances.
2.    ccTLDs should follow their own laws and treaties and existing
legal standards and not adopt WIPO's enlargement thereof for the benefit
of the IP groups.
3.    The adhesion portion of the ICANN standard registration UDRP is
void due to unequal bargaining power and de facto antitrust violations
by registrars who require it.
4.    To further good geopolitical market interelations the Internet
should bend a bit to IP interests but not break.

We can fix this as time goes by but please use the numbers for headers.
We know from working groups that using the number specific - even with
personal attacks keeps us focused and much more able to write drafts.
(please notice that those who do not want this progress will
intentionally sabotage the system)  But we are working with serious pros
here it will get written and soon.

sorry for so long,
Eric

Subject: Re: [ga] bringing the rules into the 21st century

WXW, Eric and all assembly members,

  Despite WXW's questionable statements to the contrary and a review
of the ga-rules sublist archives it is clear and without question that the
current DNSO ga rules need to be changed or eliminated all together.
Therefore I support a need now for a motion to be proposed.  I hope
the Eric will draft such a motion and present it as such to the DNSO
GA so that the GA members can review and vote upon it and
some other work that the DNSO needs to get accomplished can
move forward.

  It is also clear after reading the archives or the ga-rules sub-list that

the so called "Buddy System" as proposed by Joanna Lane, has support
as an voluntary program to be considered for a motion on that basis.
Again I hope that Eric and Joanna can together possibly draft a separate
motion to present to the DNSO GA assembly members so that some
progress can be accomplished on this idea.  I hope it will be draft as
an up or down vote draft.

  In closing I would like to propose that we are all seeing here and on
some
of the DNSO sub lists some good ideas being brought forward that deserve
serious consideration and offer an opportunity for the DNSO GA to provide
for the GA members some viable participation that can result in progress
in addressing serious issues.  Of course, like WXW here (See below),
we have some GA members that seemingly are more interested in
negating any potential progress and value to the DNSO GA even
before the GA members that are not on any of the sub-lists have
a chance to review and possibly entertain a motion embodying these
discussions on these ideas from the sub-list I hope that the DNSO
GA members will not allow for this sort of negation influence your
own thinking processes and decisions....

As a member, I make the following motion:

That the DNSO formally issue a statement of condemnation against the ICANN
board for its
recommendation to the DoC that they include a different version of .BIZ in
the USG roots.

That the DNSO recognizes that the only legitimate version of .BIZ is the one
operated by
AtlanticRoot Network/Leah Gallagos

Who will second this motion?

Hello John,

Motions should be embodiments of things on which the GA has either
reached, or is close to reaching, consensus on.

There is no such consensus in support of your motion, nor is there
anything even coming close to consensus that resembles your motion in
any way.

Motions made without a basis of discussion, debate, and compromise in
the GA are not going to be successful.

Further, you know a motion like this would NEVER carry here, so this
can only be seen as grandstanding, which doesn't benefit your own or
Leah's cases.

  A consensus is measured by a VOTE.  Hence it is a good idea to
put up a motion on this issue now.

  There are already two seconds for this Motion, mine and Bill's..
I am sure others will follow on soon.

  There has been literally hundreds of posts discussing this issue thus far.
As such, there is ample debate and discussion for a VOTE on a motion that
John has so straight forwardly put forth to see where the assembly members
actually stand...

Subject: [ga] Nomination for representative to the NC Review TF - Eric Dierker

All assembly members,

  The DNSO Secretariat has just posted and announcement that the
nominations for the NC Review Task Force are now open at:
http://www.dnso.org/dnso/announce/Arc01/msg00068.html
Further information can be on this Task force can be reviewed
at:http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/2001.DNSO-GA-ReviewTF.html

  Therefore it gives me great pleasure and it is my honor to
nominate Eric Dierker.

  I believe that Eric possesses the understanding of the need for such a

review as well as anyone.  He also has a great understanding of the
many issues that the NC faces as well as the track record of the NC
to date.  He seems to IMHO have a good grasp of much of the history
of the DNSO NC as well as is actively involved in the Registry business
with the up and coming launching of the .VN ccTLD.
Although he has a provocative style, he is graceful in
his execution of his style that is thought provoking and
therefore provides for a thought provoking aura that
should be helpful and useful for this Task Force.  Therefore I
believe that he would make an excellent candidate for this
position and I hope that he will accept this nomination.

Regards,

Correct.

Nonsense. Voting may sometimes be a useful tool for testing whether
a consensus exists. If it is clear, as it is here on this issue, that
no consensus exists, then a vote is pointless.

No, it isn't.

Subject: Re: [ga] bringing the rules into the 21st century

This is not a simple task and just reviewing the archives that give the history
of why we have  the rules we do is arduous a best.  Just the history of the two
lists is hundreds of posts. One factor is very clear many things have changed
since then, these assumptions were made when the rules were drafted;  There
would be a fully functioning At-Large, the NC would have a viable and respected
role in providing policy to the board to accept, that the GA would be
acknowledged and their postions would be respected.

As we know these are not the case, so we must adapt to the times. I have
invited many of the participants from that time to get involved today, and they
want no part of ICANN as it exists.  And not one gave a reason as the noise or
fighting here, all refuse because of the BoD.

Sincerely,
Eric

Dear Sandy,
there are three different things here.
1) a consensus about the need of a global name space policy to be draft. I 
suppose you do not agree that the "historic" iCANN policy on the matter is 
to be drafter by Lynn alone. The consensus is not on the policy but on the 
need to discuss it. At least I hope so since for three months every thing 
is made to impeach that?

2) a vote of the Members of the DNSO about a political move. There is no 
consensus reasearch. This is only a motion to be voted. Like we voted last 
year against the Cybersquatters? How can you oppose a vote?

3) the whole issue rises technical and political problems wich are of 
the  DNSO competence. I would, by  example, be quite interested in the 
IP/root related obligations to ISPs or how DNS views could be used to 
partly address the problem. Most of all the status of our .biz fellow DN 
holders deprived from their DNs without anyone suggesting any solution: 
just a prelude to .org.
