Thank you for the thoughtful reply. Due to your inspiration, I went to
see what I could find, even tho the search interface at icann.org is
broken, and the bylaws at ~/about/bylaws-
Nevertheless, I persevered: the draft minutes of the board meeting
of 31 March (at http://www.icann.org/minutes/minutes-
31mar99.htm ) mention the amendment of Article VI, and refer to
http://www.icann.org/minutes/3_31exhibitB.htm
The relevant text of "Exhibit B" is:
ARTICLE VI-A: THE ADDRESS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION
[Reserved.]
In my abysmal ignorance, I beg your indulgence once again: where
is the *intended function of the ASO specified? What are the
pressing questions an ASO will be expected to take up?
kerry
BTW, is there a documentary record of why the IANA draft bylaws
which read
"Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation may be
altered, amended, or repealed and new Bylaws adopted only upon
action by two-thirds (2/3) majority vote of all members of the Board,
except that these Bylaws shall not be amended until the earlier of
(i) June 1, 1999, or (ii) such date as all three Supporting
Organizations described in Section 3(A) of Article VI have been
formed, and Directors nominated by them have been seated..."
were put in final form as
"Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation may be
altered, amended, or repealed and new Bylaws adopted only upon
action by two-thirds (2/3) majority vote of all members of the
Board."
