RE: [atlarge-discuss] 006 Deciding Name...

[Joanna Lane <jo-uk@rcn.com>]

Jefsey,
Forgive me, but I have no idea what you are talking about. Let me be quite
clear about our position at this time.

1. We are in the process of a deciding the name by which the organization
will be known, ONE NAME to replace ICANNAtLarge.com. Notwithstanding that
regional branches or indeed issue based groups may self-organize and build
other sites with their own regional identities and domain names, these will
all be hyperlinked from the main URL that incorporates the new organization
name, once selected. The organization can then be truly global, with a
corporate identity scheme and consistent standards, such as membership
criteria - citizenship vs. residency, ID verification and so on.

2. This is why the WG's are being set up, each of which will have a separate
Mailing List, with hyperlinked archives from the main site. WG-WEB is not
yet ready to commence work and it is my intention to coordinate that group
once the organization name is known and the mailing lists available. The
same goes for WG-OUTREACH. Very little can be done by Richard until he knows
the name and has the mailing list. It's August. People are away. Things will
move faster next week.

3. The Panel approved the Timeline and schedule to enable the membership to
be solicited this week for suggestions for the name, then vote on the
selection next week. I have issued the call to the discuss list and one
additional name has been put forward that meets the criterai set down by the
Panel, but I cannot proceed with soliciting the whole membership until I
have an agreed return address for submissions and ballot papers.

Which brings me to a question for Joop. Who receives replies sent to
news@icannatlarge.com? Is that the best return address for submissions/
votes given that only 10% are subscribed to the Discuss List?

Also, can you please include me on the list of those to whom you Escrow the
member details. In fact, I'd like to see a copy of the current list please.

Thanks,
Joanna
