Suggested Interim board/commettee structure for NewCO

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

All,

 Please consider the following.

==================================================================
Setting up structure for Interim Board.  (And outline)

  Preface:

  On of the things that needs to be done very quickly
before the Sept 30 drop dead date is to get the Interim
Board of Directors determined.  I have outlined ONE
method in which this might be achieved.

1.) Premisess/requirnments
    a.) All internet Users and domain name holders are
        stakeholders.
    b.) All stakeholders get one vote for the candidate
        that is running for a board seat.
    c.) Use the GP outline for Board members (15).
    d.) Elections are done in a prescribed time frame
        (say 10 days)
    e.) Anyone can run for a board seat within the
        constituencies in which they truly represent.
        no other qualifications required.
    f.) Elections are done online from several web sites
        on a voluntary basis. (Exception: IFWP and GIAW
        sites must carry an election application on those
        sites.
    g.) all candidates must submit to the Mailing list's
        their reasons for running, their qualifications,
        and a brief statement of their positions on all
        issues they feel they have a position on.
    h.) All or any stakeholder may contact them via
        private E-mail or posting to the list any questions
        they have for those candidates.  Answers will
        be posted to the appropriate E-Mail lists for
        everyone to review. (time frame 10 days to complete)
    i.) All votes will be tallied and posted on the GIAW and
        the IFWP web sites.  Any others that wish to also
        carry this info on their web sites are invited
        to do so.
    j.) Limit of term is for 6 months for Interim Board
        members.
    k.) All interim board members can also serve on
        the permanent board but must stand re-election.

2.) How to accomplish Voting of Interim Board of Directors
    and committee members.

    a.) An application must be made available on the
        GIAW and IFWP web sites.  All other web sites
        can carry this application if they choose to
        to do so.
    b.) This application will use the E-Mail address
        (One per person) and a digital signature for
        verification (Class 1 cert should be sufficient).

Committee members for determined committees (Initial)

 1.)  Premisess/requirnments

    a.) Same requirements as for Interim Board of directors
      except points (c, j, k).
    b.) Must be elected by stakeholder vote and serve in
        that capacity as interim committee members or
        permanent members pending election of the
        permanent board of directors.
    c.) Permanent Board of directors must call for a
        new election of the Committee members 3 months
        after taking their positions.
    d.) No committee member can serve more than 2 consecutive
        terms of 1 yr in length.
    e.) All committees jointly determine the permanent
        Board of directors length of term and number
        of consecutive terms. This must take the form
        of multiple resolutions and voted on by
        the stakeholders/members at large.


  Note to all:

  This is just a thumbnail outline of the main points for
your consideration.  I think personally that this is about
a fair and open a process that can be expected and
accomplished before the Sept 20 deadline.  I welcome
any comments and/or modifications.  But please bare
in mind that we must act very quickly as time is very
short.

Thank you for your time.  >;)


Kindest regards,
