(Amended) Proposal for the Formation and Function of a DNSO Membership Committee. A Membership Committee of the DNSO shall be formed, comprised of one member of the Names Council, chosen by it, who will also act as the Committee's Chairman and report on Committee activities to the Names Council, and one member of each of the Constituencies, chosen by them. The Membership Committee's function will be to review applications for voting membership in the DNSO. The Names Council member of the Membership Committee will act to assure that all applicants for membership in the DNSO fulfill the minimum criteria for membership in the DNSO, for example that they possess a domain name (if that is so decided). The other Committee members will act to assure that applicants have applied with the appropriate Constitutencies, and that they fulfill the Constituencies' minimum requirements for membership. An aplicant will be considered admitted into membership if no member of the Membership Committee is opposed. The Committee will circulate applications for membership among its members, or otherwise perform its function, with as little expenditure of time and effort as possible and by employing Internet-based communications. It is further understood that the Committee's function is to include in the DNSO as many entities with an interest in domain names as possible, rather than to exclude any entities or parties by devising restrictive practices or by exerting personal prejudice, and that cases of rejection of an application for membership in the DNSO will be unusual, the onus of defending such rejections bearing on the Committee. There will furthermore be no investigation of applicants beyond the ascertainment of their personal identity, nor any other measures restrictive to individual freedom and the right to privacy. ...................................................................... __________________________________________________ To receive the digest version instead, send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To SUBSCRIBE forward this message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To UNSUBSCRIBE, forward this message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Problems/suggestions regarding this list?
