Re: [ga] RE: GA Very Relevant

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

The answer has always been right here. I mean right here.  Set the voting 
mechanisms up for us here. We will do the work to bring together the documents 
necessary for filing and applying for these constituencies. We are a part of 
the GNSO. We are ancient. And best of all we can vote my ne'er do well sorry 
self out of here.
 
This would work for all participants. The organization would be formed here so 
that in its infancy it would have no capture issues. The GA would remain 
whether the one or two Constituencies prevail or not -- and can even reform and 
try again if unprevailing. Input can then be had from all in a General Assembly 
forum so that how the formation effects and affects all can be open and 
transparent. Consensus here would be open to all and give an even greater sense 
of public contribution to the process. 
 
I believe this could have a positive influence from outside to inside and 
inside to outside of ICANN. An actual GA is perfect for a corporation that has 
no membership or stockholders.  It does not dilute other interests. It does not 
draw away from ongoing progress in other departments. Think of it not so much a 
General Assembly but rather General Admittance.

Yes, Roberto, please answer Andy's question and then please revisit my
question on SPECIFICS: How must registrants organize themselves in a
manner that will be acceptable to ICANN? Will ICANN fund a voting
mechanism, for instance?
