<P>Eric and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; I gave you one already on 05/13/10, see again: <A 
href="http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/ga-200709/msg04002.html";>http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/ga-200709/msg04002.html</A></P>
<P>You can also easily do a search on a "Good Search Engine"&nbsp; &lt; 
Something other than Google &gt;,</P>
<P>on 'online voting software', and get some very good results.&nbsp; For the 
record, I don't recommend any </P>
<P>particular providers on voting software other than to stay away from PHP 
script based products for</P>
<P>security and privacy reasons, and so that such does not become an attractive 
target for cyber-terrorists</P>
<P>or other criminal elements.&nbsp; Low hanging fruit such as online voting 
mechanisms, are prime targets as are</P>
<P>social web sites, ect., ect...&nbsp; A significantly/strongly secure web 
site for operating/running such</P>
<P>voting software is also a must as is Anonymous voting and registration, by 
recent US law.&nbsp; This means</P>
<P>that initial setup can get a bit costly - $50k - $150k initially, but that 
is one time cost that can be</P>
<P>prorated over time and if the GA decides to register as a non-profit corp. 
or a LLA. garnering initial</P>
<P>funding isn't even in these financially difficult times, too difficult a 
burden&nbsp; even though I suspect</P>
<P>a bit more than half of it will need to be borrowed $$ to which someone will 
need to take financial</P>
<P>responsibility for in some fashion.</P>

<DIV>Good Jeff, very very good.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Please openly and transparently send to me on this list 3 recommended 
voting/poling links.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>I anticipate paying for these myself all openly here in the GA. So think 
cheap and think private because we have those who will not vote if others 
know.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Thu, 5/13/10, Jeffrey A. Williams

<DIV>Eric and all,</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp; Now this is the right sprit!&nbsp; Well done Eric!&nbsp; First 
though we must bring back Dr. Joe.&nbsp; </DIV>
<DIV>We must stand by International principals and norms such as censorship is 
bad, openness,</DIV>
<DIV>transparency and freedom of speech is good!&nbsp; That individual privacy 
and security for all</DIV>
<DIV>GA members as well as registrants is good, and abragation of same is bad, 
ect., ect...</DIV>
<DIV>We can set up our own voting mechnisims easily enough.&nbsp; Will ICANN or 
the GNSO</DIV>
<DIV>approve?&nbsp; Maybe, and maybe not?&nbsp; If not, we try again hopefully 
with a/or reason(s) why</DIV>
<DIV>the GA's efforts are not recognized or accepted by 
ICANN/GNSO.<BR><BR><BR></DIV>

<DIV>The answer has always been right here. I mean right here.&nbsp; 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.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>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.&nbsp; 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.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Thu,
