Re: [atlarge-discuss] Re: WG-DNS name protection



Danny, for someone who has a few mean words for everyone else, surely you can appreciate my right to ask you a straight question. I was asking about how your chapter of ISOC fits in with the ICANN at large system... do you elect people to anything?

Jamie,

Before you begin questioning the relationship between established user organizations and ICANN, you might want to ask if your own group, without any organizational documents, without even a mission statement, bylaws or charter, even qualifies as an organization suitable for recognition as an at-large structure.

As per the Committee on ICANN Evolution and Reform's Second Interim Implementation Report: "We agree that individual at large entities should meet some "accreditation" standard, and we find the criteria and standards recommended by the Assistance Group to be an attractive list."

This "list" stipulates structured, self-sustaining entities that engage in outreach and post current information about the organization's aims, structure, constituents, working mechanisms, and current leadership.

1. Your aims are not posted
2. You have no organizational structure
3. You are not self-sustaining
4. You have no established working mechanisms or procedures for the general membership
5. You can't document any organizational outreach activities

After you get your own house in order, then feel free to question the relationship of ISOC chapters to ICANN -- they at least meet the minimum criteria expected for an at-large structure.
