While the case of the two MCI employees on the Names Council is
ceratinly a violation of the bylaws, as you say, the most obvious
violation is undoubtedly the duplication of CORE members. Article
VI-B Sec. 2(g) of the bylaws states that "No more than one officer,
director or employee of a corporation or other organization
(including its subsidiaries and affiliates) shall serve on the NC at
any given time."
All three NC members from the Registrar Constituency are CORE
members, and two of them - Ken Stubbs and Amadeu Abril i Abril - are
officers of CORE, Stubbs being the President of the Executive
Committee and Amadeu Abril i Abril being a member of the Policy
Oversight Committee. If we add to that David Maher, another POC
member, who has appointed himself the NC member from the
Non-Commercial Constituency, and Javier Sola, a member of the Policy
Advisory Body, who is not only an NC member from the Business
Constituency but recently the Chair of the NC, we get a grand total
of no less than five CORE officers on the Names Council. If we add
up ISOC personnel among NC members we get similar results.
But the bylaws weren't written to apply to the people who set up
ICANN - CORE and ISOC - but only the external organizations, so as
to keep them from gaining any influence.
