Early on I volunteered to serve on the Membership Implemetation
Task Force, but, realizing that I had a fundamental conflict - I do not support the
concept of an At Large Council - I withdrew my name from consideration.I prsume
that such a task force was created as per the ICANN board directive:
"RESOLVED [99.144], that the President and CEO is
directed
to convene a Membership Implementation
Task Force, which
shall generate and implement
strategies for outreach and
recruitment of
a broad and numerous membership that is
globally
representative of the Internet user community;
design effective membership authentication and online
election procedures; and undertake such other membership
implementation responsibilities as may be assigned to it
by the Board or the President."
Who is on the Task
Force? They've apparently already recruited 5,000+ members and are to be congratulated.
What
steps did they take to "outreach and recruit...a broad and numerous membership that
is globally representative of the Internet user community..."?
