I'd also like to encourage each of our
members to participate in the election and to please VOTE FOR the
CHARTER. :-)
This is really a big moment for
non-commercial users at ICANN - to have a reformed GNSO with parity
between commercial and noncommercial users.
Our adversaries have been able to prevent
us from having a good NCSG charter before now (remember last year when
a crippling staff-drafted divide-and-conquer charter was imposed on
us!)
At last we have been permitted to draft a
charter in a truly bottom-up fashion that meets the needs of
noncommercial users, and I'm encouraged that it will be accepted by
the board and we can finally move forward to substantive policy
matters. But we need all of the membership to participate in the
election and affirmatively support the charter for it to
pass.
So please, vote for the charter.
Search your email if you haven't received the ballot yet (let me
or Avri know if you don't have a ballot).
Also, we all owe a huge debt of thanks to
Avri, who has been working very hard on finalizing this charter and
organizing the election in time for the Brussels mtg next month.
Thank you, Avri!
Best,
Robin
