participants:<BR><BR>I’ve been asked to resend my previous email in hopes of 
clearing up any remaining confusion about the status of the GA list and its 
connection with the GNSO. &nbsp;<BR><BR>Under the current ICANN bylaws, there 
is no provision for any officers (or Secretariat) of the GA mailing list, nor 
any provisions regarding GNSO responsibility for the GA list. It is not an 
official structure within ICANN. &nbsp;Thus, ICANN Staff will not be “preparing 
a voting booth” or facilitating any election related to this list (as suggested 
on this list), nor is the GNSO responsible for doing so. <BR><BR>For those not 
familiar with the genesis of this list, "GA" stands for "General Assembly," 
which was a structure within the original DNSO (predecessor to GNSO) that 
ceased to exist when the DNSO was restructured into the GNSO years ago. 
&nbsp;There was an expectation at the time that the new GNSO would replace the 
old GA email list with a substantive, cross-constituency discussion list, but 
that did not materialize. &nbsp;Several other mechanisms have been used, 
instead, to support broad-based GNSO (and At-Large) discussion. &nbsp;This list 
was left open, but the GNSO has no responsibility to maintain 
it.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Denise Michel<BR>ICANN VP
