I object to item #4.2 of ICANN's proposed Commercial Stakeholder Group Charter

["Alexey Mykhaylov" <alexey@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is amazing that Commercial Stakeholder Group Charter 5 that was drafted
by the 3 existing commercial constituencies and which gives each of those 3
constituencies a veto over any board vote creating a new commercial
constituency to be represented on the GNSO Council was rubber-stamped for
approval by the ICANN Board SIC.

I object to item #4.2 of ICANN's proposed Commercial Stakeholder Group
Charter:

"4.2. Membership shall also be open to any additional constituency
recognised by ICANN's Board under its by-laws, provided that such
constituency, as determined by the unanimous consent of the signatories to
this charter, is representative of commercial user interests which for the
purposes of definition are distinct from and exclude registry and
prospective registry, registrar, re-seller or other domain name supplier
interests."
 
Judging by what was happening with proposals for new constituencies over the
last few months this would make it almost impossible to do anything new as
natural motivation of some on the members of existing constituencies is to
maintain status quo.
