Brad,
Individuals will certainly be welcome associates within the TLDA
organization. Sorry, I cannot address the policy of any of the other
constituancies.

Subject: [IFWP] "...for which they qualify"
ICANN's "Domain Name Supporting Organization Formation Concepts"
Statement contains a provision which reads: "Individual domain name
holders should be able to participate in constituencies for which they
qualify."
Depending on the decisions ICANN makes in approving competing
constituency applications, individual domain name holders may be
present
in *none* of the seven original constituencies. There is at least one
proposal in each of the seven constituency areas (including, oddly
enough, the Non-Commercial Domain Name Holder category) that adopts an
organizations-centric model in which individuals either do not qualify
or
are placed in a minority position.
I had the impression following the Singapore meeting that ICANN had
sent
a clear message that individual domain name holders were important
stakeholders in this process and should be included in certain of the
DNSO's constituency activities. I certainly didn't read "...for which
they qualify" as an invitation to draft exclusive constituency
proposals.
Was I mistaken?
