This is news to me. Headline news actually.
Are you sure? Did you apply through the website?
That gets passed on to the elected membership committee and I think I would
have heard about it.
Are you sure you want to become a member, Kent-- having to agree to that
offensive "loyalty oath" that reads: " I support the principles and mission
statement of the IDNO constituency." ??
What does this mean for the whole stakeholder constituency idea, if the PAB
chair, an active member of an registry organization that has been seeking
representation in most other constituencies of the DNSO , can also demand
entry in an organization that is organized around principles that are
almost the antithesis of what he stands for?
Is this serious?
Are you aware that the IDNO membership rules (now approved by the whole
membership) would ask you to choose for which constituency you will sit on
the NC or control somebody else's vote there?
Are you just doing this to embroil the IDNO in further controversy prior to
the ICANN decision in Santiago, or is this a signal of peace and will we
see that you will actually support our application as a constituency of the
DNSO?
I think the membership committee has the right to defer such a membership
application, in view of its extraordinary character, pending answers to the
above fundamental questions about your intent, the PAB's intent and
CORE's intent before referring the ultimate decision to the entire membership.
