RE: [council] ICANN Board Votes to Enhance New gTLDs Competition

["Mike Rodenbaugh" <icann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Chuck for pointing this out.  I'm curious to know how "affiliate" is
defined, if it has been defined?  I guess it must be narrow, as Verisign is
'affiliated' with NetChoice as it is a member of that trade organization.
NetChoice is a voting member of the BC.  Same with Network Solutions, which
is (or at least recently was) a member of USCIB, another voting member of
the BC.  I believe some registries and registrars are probably also members
of IPC voting members such as INTA and AIPLA.

 

So, is there a definition of 'affiliate'?

Note the following paragraphs from the RySG charter:

 

"A Registry that is owned or controlled by, or under common ownership with,
or affiliated with any entity that votes in another stakeholder group in
either house of the GNSO is not eligible for membership in the RySG. Any
question regarding eligibility or exceptions shall be determined by a vote
of the RySG. 

 

The RySG will provide for observer status for entities that may not be
eligible for full membership because of the preceding paragraph, and for
entities that have applied, or indicated an intention to apply, for a
contract with ICANN to provide gTLD registry services in support of one or
more gTLDs."

Can you point to where the Bylaws (or anything else) say that?  Alan

Right.
 
So you can be a member of each. Just not a voting member.

I believe the revised Bylaws GNSO provisions require that someone may not
vote in more than one SG or Constituency.

The old Bylaws said that an organization could be a member of more than one
Constituency. I would have sworn that the new Bylaws explicitly said that
you could not participate in multiple SG and had to choose, but I cannot
find that clause there. Is there a rule in either SG charter about multiple
memberships??
