According to the BC's website, 58% of the Business Constituency's membership is based in a single country - the USA (28 of the 44 members).Not very representative of the global business community. I guess that is why they lobbied for and received the special exception allowing them to elect all 6 of their GNSO councilors from only 2 geographic regions in their new charter.We have more members in different countries (48), than the entire BC membership combined (44).But what do facts matter at ICANN?RobinOn Aug 12, 2009, at 9:13 AM, Robin Gross wrote:The Facts.Commercial Stakeholder Group Membership.According to the Business Constituency's website, they have 44 members.According to the IPR Constituency's website, they have 18 members.According to the ISP Constituency's website, (they don't publish membership lists and haven't had a post to their email list in 2009). But, according the 2006 LSE Report (the last documented account of the ISP Constituency's membership, they have 42 members.So if we add the membership of these 3 commercial constituencies together, we get total of 104 members in the Commercial Stakeholder Group, who will elect 6 GNSO Councilors.Contrast:NCUC has 142 members but noncommercial users will not be allowed to elect any of our new GNSO Councilors on the claim that we are too small to deserve to elect all 6 GNSO Councilors.Did anyone from ICANN staff/SIC do any math before they ruled non-commercial users are too small to deserve to elect all 6 GNSO Councilors?
NCSG membership = 142 members (allowed 3 elected representatives)CSG membership = 104 members (allowed 6 representatives)What was the decision-making process that led to ICANN's determination that noncommercial users are too small? Seriously, we deserve to know how they arrived at that decision and upon what facts the decision was based - it is our elected representation that they are meddling with. ICANN will have to answer this.IP JUSTICERobin Gross, Executive Director1192 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94117 USAp: +1-415-553-6261 f: +1-415-462-6451
