<DIV>proposed<BR></DIV>
<DIV><B>INDIVIDUALS' CONSTITUENCY CHARTER</B></DIV>
<DIV>(Individual Registrants)</DIV>
<DIV>1<B>. Purpose and mission</B>.</DIV>
<DIV>To effect and ensure the recognition, representation, and input of<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>Individual Registrants of Domain
Names as bona fide stake holders in the Domain Name System (DNS), through an
established and direct voice in all ICANN policy formulation bodies and
functions.</DIV>

(IRC or IC ), (subject to members' vote).</DIV>
<DIV><B>3. Constituency principles</B>:</DIV>
<DIV>Transparency and accountability to the members.<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>One individual, one vote.</DIV>
<DIV><B>Constituency Membership criteria</B></DIV>
<DIV>4.1. IC constituency membership is open to any person who is an individual
domain name holder<BR>4.2 An Individual Domain Name Holder is any person who
can demonstrate<BR>a level of control over a specified second-level (or third
or fourth level)<BR>domain name registered with an authorized registry or
registrar that a<BR>reasonable person would conclude grants the individual
person the exclusive<BR>legal right to exploit the specified domain name
worldwide subject to<BR>applicable laws.</DIV>
<DIV>Examples of items that may be submitted in support of an application
include but are not limited to<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>(i) evidence of applicants name on
domain contact information<BR>(ii) evidence of applicant's funds used to pay
registration fees, if any<BR>(iii) evidence that the applicant may cause the
domain name to be relinquished<BR>(iv) evidence that the applicant is the
beneficial holder of any domain name that is registered or operated by a third
party<BR>(v) Where the applicant does not hold direct control over the domain
name, written evidence must be provided that the controlling party is acting on
instructions of the beneficial holder and that such instructions may be
withdrawn at the applicant's sole discretion.</DIV>
<DIV>4.3 An individual shall not be entitled to more than one membership of the
IC.<BR>4.4 Where there are more than joint holders of a single domain, that
domain would not meet criteria for membership.<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>4.5 No single domain name may be
used to support membership of more than one individual.<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>4.6 The domain name used to meet

call for a new election within a 7 day period. In such an event the Chair must
step aside until the vote has taken place. All time-clocks on all motions,
amendments etc will be stopped at the formal declaration of a vote. As the
Chair will technically not be available for conducting the vote, the Committee
on Elections will replace the Chair's role in formally calling the vote and
setting the voting period.</DIV>
<DIV><B>List Motions</B></DIV>
<DIV>8.4 Members may make motions to the list. For a motion to
be<BR>acknowledged by the Chair the motion must receive at least one supporting
second.</DIV>
<DIV>8.4.1 Amendments to a motion may be moved by any member within the List
Motion time frame above. Amendments must receive at least one supporting second
to be acknowledged by the Chair. Once an amendment is acknowledged by the Chair
the clock is stopped on the motion and the original motion must pass to a list
vote. If the motion fails to pass in the list vote the amendment also
automatically fails. If the motion passes on the list vote the amendment is
then also subject to a list vote. If the amendment passes the list vote the
originating motion will then be modified in terms of the amendment.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>8.4.2 Members may post an opposition to a motion at any time up to the
5 day limit of formal acknowledgement noted above. If two or more members post
a call for a list vote then the clock on the motion is stopped and the motion
is then subject to a list vote.</DIV>
<DIV><B>List votes</B></DIV>
<DIV>8.5 Votes will be taken on the list itself, when called for as
in<BR>Article 8.4.2 above or when an amendment is acknowledged by the Chair.
The Chair shall then formalise the vote by posting to the list the start-time
of the vote and if necessary the close-time of the vote, with details of the
topic under vote.<BR>In the absence of the Chair the Polling officer is
responsible<BR>for posting the start and close-time of the vote.</DIV>
<DIV>8.5.1 The list membership shall be frozen at the point of a valid call for
a list vote. The listmembers current at the point of call for a<BR>list vote
will be the only ones permitted to be involved on a topic under such vote until
the conclusion of the whole process up to and including the possibility of a
membership wide vote on the matter as detailed below.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>8.5.2. As soon as the list voters' roll is frozen, the Committee on
Elections<BR>will publish the voters' names to the list.</DIV>
<DIV>8.6. No list vote will be deemed closed until at least 72 hours<BR>after
the list Chair has declared it under way.</DIV>
<DIV>8.6.1 A full membership wide vote in the Polling Booth may be<BR>called,
on any motion, by five or more members. The call for such a vote can take place
at any time up to 72 hours after a motion has been declared carried by the
Chair, either under the consensus rule or by list vote. When such a call is
made the membership of IRC will be frozen and no new members joining the IC
will be permitted to vote on the topic. The Committee on Elections will then be
charged with publishing the vote call on the announce-list.</DIV>
<DIV><B>Responsibilities of the IC discuss-list Chair.</B></DIV>
<DIV>8.7.1 The Chair shall ensure that the conduct of discussions is of<BR>a
high standard in keeping with published IC list rules and with<BR>exemplary
politeness, goodwill, firmness when necessary and common-sense at all
times.<BR>The Chair can request a member to restrain themselves in the content
of their postings, if such postings fall outside of the list rules. The Chair
may refer the postings from a listmember to the full Executive Committee or to
a vote if the listmember refuses to accept the Chair's rulings on the
matter.</DIV>
<DIV>8.7.1.1 The Chair may call for a list vote for the suspension of a<BR>list
member from participation on the list for a period of up to 14 days. Such a
vote must have a majority in favour of suspension. In the event that a member
continues to abuse his position on the list such that the Chair calls for a
second time for a vote for suspension, each following vote for removal will
extend the period of disbarment with twice the length of the previous one.</DIV>
<DIV>The rules for freezing listmembership in the event of such votes
being<BR>called will be those as under Article 8.5.1 above, with the added
proviso that<BR>the listmembers entitled to vote in the first of such votes
will be the only ones permitted to vote in the second and subsequent
ballots.</DIV>
<DIV>8.7.2 The Chair ensures that list votes are conducted correctly.<BR>The
Chair designates reserved subject lines for each vote. The Chair declares the
start-time (and when necessary close-time) of the list vote. All times will be
declared in GMT.</DIV>
<DIV>8.7.3 On Motions and Amendments the Chair ensures :</DIV>
<DIV>8.7.3.0 that motions and amendments (if any) are managed clearly, with
correct priority.</DIV>
<DIV>8.7.3.1 To track the time-lines on each motion and amendment.</DIV>
<DIV>8.7.3.2 To publish to the discuss-list a listing of topics under<BR>formal
acknowledgement from the Chair.</DIV>

or failure of all motions and amendments, whether by consensus or by list
vote.</DIV>

of a successful amendment being carried.</DIV>
<DIV><BR><B>THE IC WEB-SITE</B></DIV>
<DIV>9. The IC will maintain a web-site. The Web-site will contain, at a
minimum, a publicly accessible Home page with links to other areas of the site
including this Charter, the Polling Booth, a Members' only area where links to
archived material required in these Articles are kept.</DIV>
<DIV>9.1 The Webmaster is either a member of the Committee on Elections or
co-ordinates closely with them.</DIV>
<DIV>9.1.1 The Webmaster will ensure that the site is kept current.</DIV>
<DIV>9.1.2 The Webmaster will assist the candidates for elective office
to<BR>post their pictures and all relevant details to the correct area of the
site as required in Article 6.2.5.</DIV>
<DIV>9.2 All other material posted to the website must be cleared with
the<BR>Executive Committee, or in the event of discuss-list requests, with the
List-Chair.<BR>Neither the Webmaster or other members of the Committee on
Elections shall have discretion as to relevant material to be posted to the
site.</DIV>

<DIV>12.2.Should there be a perceived need for the modification a<BR>minimum of
10 members must request a vote to be held.</DIV>
