David McGuire of Newsbytes reports that White's supporters
maintain:
While the four supporters in question - Jean Cantrell,
Stanley Crosley, Sheila O'Neill and Ken Whitaker -
do not appear on any of the General Assembly lists,
they are employees of companies that maintain
corporate memberships to the DNSO. Since members
of the DNSO constituencies are considered to be
members of the General Assembly Cantrell, Crosley,
O'Neill and Whitaker may be able to claim de facto
membership in the body.
That's quite a remarkable implementation of corporate
proxy. "de facto membership" Cute.
It gets better
"It's clear that the intent of the DNSO election
rules is to assure that candidates for the board
have at least a minimal expression of interest
from the DNSO community," Schalestock said. White's
position as a front-runner in the race for the
third and final board spot makes it clear that
he meets that test, Schalestock added.
That's called ex post facto surrogate approval.
Since when were any of these folks ever involved in
anything related to domain names?
These are truly remarkable times.
