""" ICANN originally allowed individuals to register and vote in
the elections of 2000, they then froze registration and refused
to release the existing membership roster. Instead, they abandoned
the concept of membership altogether, and next month, when the
term of the current At Large Directors elected in 2000 is up,
they do not plan to replace them, neither to hold any more direct
elections, or allow membership of individuals in any shape or form.
ICANNAtLarge.com has been set up by those of us who object to that
plan. """

VII. 006 Deciding Name for Organisation, action completed ?
10 Aug 2002: The name worldatlarge.org, which has been registered
by Sotiris Sotiropoulos, seems to get some significant support within
the Panel and the whole group ICANNATLARGE.COM. This name have "atlarge"
inside, but is different enough from confusing "at-large.org" which is
felt as (mis)appropriation by another group to which the ICANNATLARGE.COM
does not feel much sympathy.
""" We should avoid dispersing our own energies too much. Let's keep the
mission close to something like, "promote user representation and
participation in DNS management and Internet governance." """

VIII. 007 Best Practices, work underway
""" What happens when there is a voting deadlock on the panel?
It goes like this - the vote is only done to confirm what is already
known, so if you have a vote and there is a deadlock, essentially, the
Chair is not doing their job - it's called a "hurry up vote". In the
unlikely event that it does arise, that is a clear indication that the
Resolution wording is inappropriate and needs further debate.
Do not mix polling with voting. Unofficial polls confirm the basis for
an issue to go forward. Voting confirms the final result. Apples and
oranges. """
