Stafford Guest is the manager for .NU ccTLD and has the sole vote for the
NU ccTLD in the ccTLD Constituency. The ccTLD Constituency does not
recognize "organizations" as voting members - it only recognizes the
specific named individual who is the Adminstrative Contact for the ccTLD.
I, and the foundation Internet Users Society - Niue, do not have an
official vote in any other Constituency in the DNSO besides NCDNHC.
It remains true, however, that I do not agree with any restrictions by
NCDNHC or any other constituency to prevent active participation in any
constituency by anyone or any entity merely because they are voting or
participating in other constituencies. As I have pointed out many times in
the past, this violates the intent as well as the spirit of the ICANN
bylaws, in particular, Section 3. THE CONSTITUENCIES, which clearly states:
"(a) Each Constituency shall self-organize, and shall determine its own
criteria for participation, except that no individual or entity shall be
excluded from participation in a Constituency merely because of
participation in another Constituency..."
Hope that clarifies things.
Regards,
Bill Semich
