Dear all (both DNSO.net and DNSO.org) , I propose to insert the following language in preamble of the SO application document, (whether incorporated bylaws or dnso charters) 1. Decisionmaking by the General Membership of the DNSO is achieved by on-line debate and vote 2. The Domain Name Supporting Organization (DNSO) shall be composed of any individual, firm, association, corporation or other entity who is the holder of a second level domain (SLD) in any top level domain (TLD)or of a third level domain under any second level controlled by a TLD (Hereinafter “Domain Name Holder"). 3. The Names Council shall ensure that it will guard the rights of the Domain Name holders and registrants by advising ICANN on such policies that will mandate that any delegated Registrar or Registering entity adopts procedures guaranteeing fair hearings and due process in its Articles, Bylaws or contract documents with second or third level registrants. The text may need to be refined or adapted, but this is the sort of language that will attract the masses of Domain Name owners to membership of your DNSO as an organisation where their voice can and will be heard.
