Civil society orgs in ICANN overwhelmingly approve GNSO charter

Civil society organizations within ICANN have been holding a vote on the adoption of a new charter to form the Noncommercial Stakeholders Group (NCSG). Today, it was announced that the charter was successfully ratified. Approval of the charter required that at least 60% of the entire membership of the Noncommercial stakeholders vote in favor of the charter. Of the total 314 votes possible, 225 votes were cast - a very good turnout that constitutes 72% of the total. Of the 225 votes cast, 215 voted in favor of the charter and only 10 votes were cast against it. That means that over 95% of the civil society groups involved in ICANN's GNSO support the proposed charter. ICANN's Board will now have to recognize that it's time to let the NCSG move forward as a community.

"ICANN's Board will now have to recognize that it's time to let the NCSG move forward as a community."
OK, where does the "community" plan to "move forward" to ? Overheard: (New ICANN CEO) - "Hey Peter, catch this, they are begging us to ALLOW THEM to move forward and they are paying us millions of dollars for that." Fools and their money...

Another ICANN wraps up and people escape for their Summer junkets in Europe. Domain name Registrants once again fund a bunch of self-appointed .NET Czars. Watch for several new non-profits to emerge as more and more people get in on the public benefit tax-&-spend game. http://NewNog.INC http://IANA.INC http://IANA.INC

"> ICANN staff's manipulation thrives in a communication vacuum. And
> they do work closely with the commercial constituencies on how to > shape the noncommercial space." ICANN Staff is paid 4 or 5 times the norm. A $60,000 non-profit staffer might extract $300,000 from ICANN each year. ICANN is all about For Profit for a few - nothing new Whois ICANN Sleeping With ?

ISOC feeding BBC DNSSEC Spin
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8740426.stm "DNSSEC will improve the security of the web so we can have more confidence in the activities on the network as it increasingly becomes part of our working lives and home lives," said Leslie Daigle the chief internet technology officer at the Internet Society, which is the home of the standards body that developed DNSSEC.

In Kenya, where is everyone ? http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/at-large_atlarge-lists.icann.org/2010q2/006713.html $15,000,000 per year Income is Top IANA Echelon

$15,000,000 per year Income is Top IANA Echelon Someone once said: "Money is not everything, but it is sure a good way to keep score." ICANN watchers may note that the Top IANA Echelon are now banking about $15,000,000 per year. People are seeing Staff changes and people moving from one company to another (PIR->.CO) to continue to seek the highest levels. With only $1,000,000 per year, ICANN Staffers likely consider that a modest compensation, non-profit of course plus travel and perks. Re: $15,000,000 per year Income is Top IANA Echelon

Does ICANN Plan to Become Irrelevant ? Paul Vixie commonly expresses concerns about his various activities "remaining relevant". ICANN does not seem to care. Could it be because they are paid either way ? At what point does Verisign ask, "what value is ICANN?" At what point do the remaining Relevant-Registrars (5 or 6 of them?) ask, "what value is ICANN?" Neustar already sees the light and has .CO on a non-ICANN path along with .US. They appear to be interested in remaining relevant. Re: Does ICANN Plan to Become Irrelevant ?
