I was sure that the Bylaws said that also, but all I can find is in
Section 2: "Except as otherwise defined in these Bylaws, the four
Stakeholder Groups and the Constituencies will be responsible for
defining their own charters with the approval of their members and of the
ICANN Board of Directors."<br><br>
The RrSG does say "2.1. Eligibility - Only ICANN Accredited
Registrars are eligible for membership in the Registrar Stakeholder Group
("Members"). In keeping with the selective membership criteria
of other GNSO constituencies, the Registrar Stakeholder Group represents
the interests of a specific sector, specifically those of ICANN
Accredited Registrars. Therefore to avoid conflicts of interest, this
typically excludes entities whose primary relationship with ICANN is as a
TLD Registry Operator." but it is not clear how one would determine
"primary relationship" in the future.<br><br>
I can find no such prohibition in the RySG charter. <br><br>
Regardless, if we stick with the current organization (and I am not sure
anyone has the stomach to change again now), it will be
interesting.<br><br>

The old Bylaws said that an organization could be a member of more than
one Constituency. I would have sworn that the new Bylaws explicitly said
that you could not participate in multiple SG and had to choose, but I
cannot find that clause there. Is there a rule in either SG charter about
multiple memberships??<br><br>

So what happens to the Contracted Party house? Did they think of that?
