[Accountability-dt] Accountability CCWG Membership

[Thomas Rickert]

Hi Avri and all,
for transparency reasons, I would like to let you know that I have offered the BC a telephone call to discuss the below concerns before the upcoming GNSO Council meeting where the Charter is going to be discussed and the motion to be voted on. 

Best,
Thomas

PS - Certainly, I am more than happy to schedule calls with others having questions or concerns, too!

>> In the BC discussions on the draft charter we have spent significant time discussing the number of representatives for the chartering organizations.  We believe strongly that there should be 7 reps per chartered organization for the following reasons:
>> 
>> 
>>   1.  We agree with parity when it comes to consensus calls/voting.
>>   2.  We object to disenfranchising chartered constituencies in the GNSO, which is the effect of limiting to 5 representatives from the GNSO.  There are 7 chartered GNSO groups (Registries, Registrars, BC, IPC, ISPC, NCUC, NPOC).  So 2 chartered organizations would not get a representative on the CCWG if it is limited to 5 reps.
>> The charter will be discussed by the Council on Thursday and it would be helpful to know where other drafting team members are on this issue in advance of that discussion.
