Sotiris Sotiropoulos (Hermes Network, Inc.) DNDEF (Open Forum, 6/2/01 9:31:45 AM, #1283) Considering the amount of money generated and exchanged within the domain name market, will the ontological status of domain names be legally established in the near future? Are domain names property or not? If so, what kind of property, and whose?

Kendall Dawson (Concerned Individual) CCtlds and Board seats (Opening, 6/2/01 10:08:09 AM, #1284) ICANN has promised that there would be 9 elected Board members. 5 have been elected, which leaves 4 seats open. If the CCtld members are attempting to gain seats on the ICANN Board, do they plan to do this at the expense of Membership At Large seats?

Roberto Gaetano (GA member) Representativity - legitimacy (Guest Speakers: Esther Dyson & David Johnson, 6/2/01 11:50:45 AM, #1285) I think that the key issue boils down to a comment already made by Wilkinson and Twomey in a past ICANN meeting: either ICANN bases its representativity on wide consensus (AtLarge) or we have to have a role for national governments. It definitively cannot be ruled by business interests only.

Joop Teernstra (IDNO) DNSO constituencies (Guest Speakers: Esther Dyson & David Johnson, 6/2/01 12:05:40 PM, #1286) In Berlin , the ICANN Board refused to consider the petition that was presented for the creation of an Individual Domain Name Holders' constituency. In Santiago and Yokohama, again, it chose to defer the question. As a result, this constituency in-spe never got to hear what requirements would need to be fulfilled for the Board to approve it. Self-organizing needs to take place. It has taken place. Now at this point, to progress further, prospective members want to know, if they are not wasting their time. Can an Individuals Constituency expect to be recognized IN PRINCIPLE? Joop
