Hello Eric,

Diplomacy and professionalism in communication are traits that should
not be discounted when selecting someone to be a representative.

Dear Peter,

Am I missing something?  why possibly would the GA write to Constituencies
to garner support or denial.  You are reccomending top down consensus.  The
GA is supposed to tell the NC what to do not the other way around.  Let us
try this real easy;  *bottoms up open and transparent stakeholder
represenativiness*  Does any of that fit into what you just suggested? Now
you may have been mistaken and not meant to have signed this as chair of the
ccTLD but that is not our problem.

I will take the rest in order as it represents our upward problem;

And where did you find those criterion?  The Job of our chair is to remain

otherwise.

You have clearly not read much on consensus and perhaps I am too hard and I
apologize and would like to help you learn what it means.  This reminds me
of the ccTLD attack of you in Melbourne because it was perceived you acted
against their interests in budget.

Have you moved the channels you just suggested in making this statement as a
chair or are you doing all the things perceived wrong by you?
Major problem signing this as the ccTLD chair, Danny would never do such a
thing!  Mr. Thrush would never have acted in such impulsive behavior.

I am sorry if I have offended but dictating policy from one constituency to
the GA is detrimental to progress.

Eric

There are too many sub-lists.  This practice of restricting the pool will
discriminate against people who don't have acres of time to read
sub-lists.  I think it's not a good idea, espeically given the small size 
of the GA.  If we had 100,000 members, and a thousand on a sub-list, that 
would be different.

Colleagues,

After reading the Agenda as Danny provided and watching the reaction and seeing an
endoresment of someone I have not seen a single post from in six months I rethink my
thoughts.  In my mind it is between Chris and Jeff. They are both excellent choices
for the same reason.  They will both fight like a wounded badger bitch backed into a
corner defending her young. One will use his attributes and the other his.  I have
come to have a ethos for both these men and either are great choices.  I suppose I
will vote for Jeff for one reason alone and that is that I think he deserves the
lions den at this time and is ready to eat the lion. He has been chasing that which
is illusive for far too long let us give him the lions' scent.

I hereby nominate Jeff Williams

May I ask for a second?

Best to all,
ERic

ps I am sorry to condemn two friends to this fire in one day, think hard about
accepting this is one ugly assignment. God carry you both.

One of our members has raised the question:  "how does any potential donor 
know that the money he/she is considering donating is going to the DNSO or 
efforts strictly pertaining to the DNSO?"

Please take note of the following Board resolution:

It is therefore

   RESOLVED [01.36] that the President is authorized, until further 
   action by the Board, to maintain a separate bank account for holding 
   funds contributed to the support of the Domain Name Supporting 
   Organization, to place in that account funds contributed for that 
   purpose, and to make disbursements from that account upon 
   authorization of the Names Council or its designee.

Dear Milton,

Thank you for your earlier suggestion to look for a candidate with a law 
background as well as Internet knowledge.  We will do our best to field a 
candidate that best represents the GA, and I will soon ask our Secretariat to 
send out an announcement indicating that we are seeking a representative.  I 
am collecting input from our Assembly members so that we can make the best 
possible choice.  

As it is already becoming quickly apparent, we have a high degree of interest 
in this issue, and probably a large number of experts that can contribute to 
this topic.  I am aware that the Council has recently been debating the 
inclusion of non-constituency "experts" in Names Council Task Forces... if 
the GA can offer a number of suitable qualified candidates, will your Task 
Force be willing to accept more than one individual?

Please let us know as soon as possible, as this will affect our selection 
process.  

In the meantime, will you be able to provide URLS for the Syracuse University 
study, the Max Plank Institute study and the Rose Communication study?  

Best regards,
Danny

Danny and all assembly members,

  Yes, I am that member.  And the answer you provided (See below, was
on my mind at the time and anticipated in advance).

  None the less this seems to be a non answer to my question, as I
in other terms pointed out to you privately.  The ICANN BoD and staff
still control or manage this ACCOUNT.  As such, it is NOT a DNSO GA
ACCOUNT but and ICANN ACCOUNT as their address is listed
as the legal address of this ACCOUNT.  Therefore any funds transferred
into this ICANN ACCOUNT are under the determination of the
ICANN BoD and staff, not the DNSO GA.  Hence no potential
donor can be sure that his/her donation will be used in the manner
prescribed, al la the Markel Foundation donation to ICANN a
year os so back.  Given that, my question still stands inadequately
answered.

  A suggestion:

   The DNSO GA should establish its own ACCOUNT for these purposes
and a trustee should be elected that has the necessary qualifications
to manage this ACCOUNT as to it's uses.

Philip,

As one of the first goals of the NC's UDRP Task Force is to complete an 
appropriate questionnaire, and as the General Assembly has previously 
expressed concerns that past questionnaires perhaps have not been properly 
designed, would you be amenable to adding a qualified "expert" on 
questionnaires/polling to this Task Force?

(Eiic) "why possibly would the GA write to Constituencies"

The reason is not to garner support. The reason is that a lot of people
are not monitoring the GA list, and the reason is that a selection of
nominee from one of 12 active persons on the GA list is hardly a
representative sample of the GA. There certainly were more than 12 at
the last 4 face to face meetings.

Posting the announcement on the various constituency lists would
perhaps, encourage others back onto the GA list, and encourage broader
participation levels.

Also, we might consider e-mailing the announcement to the GA voting
list.

Finally, I am a member of the GA, and have as much right to speak (post)
here as anyone.

Danny and all assembly members,

  I don't believe that such and "Expert" really exists or could exist.
There are many of us, that have some experience in this area though.
If elected to this task force I would be seeking outside of the
active participants for assistance in helping to design a proper
questionnaire.  However I believe that collectively the DNSO GA
and the constituencies should be the primary input for possible
questionnaire questions.

  What might also be useful in this endeavor would be to request the
Registrars to post a request for their registrants to send in potential
question for this questionnaire as well as the non ICANN registries..

  The problem with your suggestion Peter is that most of the constituency

Subject: Re: [ga] UDRP Task Force Member

Dear Mr. de Blanc,

Mia Culpa,

My mail to and concerning you was beyond good behavior.  Your gentlmanly
response here is a fine example of how to lead by example.  While some may
disagree with you on an issue or two, and I stand by the concepts I wrote
just not the manner, we should never discount your integrity and dedication
to the betterment of the Internet.

For any who do not know, Mr. de Blanc is a hardworking and dedicated member
of the ccTLD community who has taken on countless undesireable tasks out of
honor and servitude.  As I have said he is a leader by example with quiet
dignity.

Sincerely,
Eric
