A GNSO membership option allows for individual
representation.

Can you expand on that danny? When I asked how to join the gnso i was told I had to form or join an org to do so. I don't consider that individual representation or membership. What? Join an org that can join an org that can join an org that cannot join ICANN but only make suggestions?

  Excuse me Danny but last i checked constituency is not an individual.

    Not true. The LSE has recommended "creating a direct
    (primary) membership in ICANN for firms, other
    organizations and individuals. Newly joined members
    interested in generic names issues would then be
    directed to also join one of the new, simpler and
    easier to understand constituencies that we outline
    below."

    The LSE then outlines a constituency structure that
    includes a Civil Society Constituency whose members
    would include the NCUC, individuals currently
    represented by the ALAC and ordinary domain holders --
    see paragraph 4.35 of the LSE report.

    However, one of the problems with the LSE Report is a
    failure on their part to be cognizant of the ICANN
    history regarding membership. They are clearly
    unaware that there are those on the current Board that
    still view the prospect of member derivative lawsuits
    as a factor that heavily weighs against the membership
    option.

    Most likely, ICANN will agree to membership within the
    GNSO, but not within ICANN.

    A GNSO membership option allows for individual
    representation. At issue is whether ICANN is best
    served by having individuals lumped into a Civil
    Society Constituency or whether a separate
    Unaffiliated Constituency will better serve the ICANN
    interest.

    Best regards,
    Danny
