> gTLD registries
> Intellectual property
> ISPs and connectivity providers
> Registrars

>
> FURTHER RESOLVED, that the President of the Corporation is

> FURTHER RESOLVED, that, when such proposals are so amended, the
Board

> FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Names Council representatives chosen by
the
> provisionally recognized Constituencies shall constitute the
> provisional
> Names Council, with all the powers set forth in the Bylaws
> other than the
> selection of Directors (pursuant to Section 2(e) of Article
> VI-B of the
> Bylaws), which selection powers will be deferred until such
> time as the
> Board determines it has made sufficient final recognitions.
>
> FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board requests that the
> Constituency for gTLD
> registries agree, for so long as Network Solutions is the
> only participant
> in such Constituency, to select only one individual (rather
> than three) to
> represent that Constituency on the provisional Names Council,
> and the Board
> states that if such Constituency does not agree to make only one
such
> selection, the Board will amend the Bylaws to effectuate such goal.

> FURTHER RESOLVED, that the phrase �except with the consent of

> shall be inserted after the twenty-first word of Section 3(c)
> of Article
> VI-B of the Bylaws.
>
> FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board considers geographic
> diversity to be an
> important requirement that should be met promptly, but
> consents to waiver
> of the Names Council geographic diversity requirement of
> Article VI-B(3)(c)
> of the Bylaws, for the period of provisional recognition only.
>
> FURTHER RESOLVED, the Board determines that no proposal to create a
> non-commercial domain name holders Constituency has yet been
> submitted that
> is appropriate for recognition.
>
> FURTHER RESOLVED, with the recognition that the interests
> represented by a
> non-commercial domain name holders Constituency should be
> involved as early
> as possible in the DNSO organization process, the Board urges that
the
> organizers of this Constituency should submit a consensus
> application for
> provisional recognition as soon as possible, so that the issue of
> recognition can be reconsidered by the Board no later than an
> anticipated
> meeting during the week of June 21 so that representatives of this
> Constituency can join the provisional Names Council.
