This vote has been carried without major disruption nor personal disputes. It has shown the ability of the IDNO Members to proceed in an orderly way under difficult circumstances. Its a proof of the maturity of this group. As acting as a main polling officer for this vote I thank the Members of the Polling Committee and of the IDNO for their cooperation and nice assistance.

Jefsey Morfin
IDNO, Acting Polling Committee.

Text of the Motion:

Whereas the IDNO has been unable to become a cohesive group or organization over the last two years,

Whereas the IDNO has not been able to achieve critical mass either in total members or in active participation,

Whereas the IDNO has historical baggage which will only continue to weigh it down more at the expense of domain holders' representation in the DNSO,

Whereas no other constituency is an organization, and the bylaws do not provide for an organization being recognized as a constituency,

Whereas the IDNO is probably better suited to be an advocacy group on behalf of domain holders,

Whereas the IDNO's founder is well suited as a "lobbyist" type advocate for domain holders,

Therefore by it resolved that:

1) The charter be rescinded.

2) This organization be reformed as a consumer rights type organization created to lobby for greater representation of domain holders in the ICANN process, and to advocate for policies that
strengthen the rights of domain holders. The organization does not seek to become a constituency in any fashion, but as a not for profit does seek to advocate for the registrant's constituency and
other representations for domain registrants in the ICANN process.

3) That this organization consider formally changing its name to the Cyberspace Association and dropping the IDNO moniker completely.

4) That this organization explore the possibility of becoming a legally registered non-profit organization in New Zealand or elsewhere.

5) That an initial executive committee of 3 be appointed to include the organization's founder, the last chair of the IDNO Lists as elected in the last election, (or comparable person if this specific
individual is not available) and at least one member of the group perceived by Joop to be "IDNO Opposition".

6) That Joop be appointed representative of the Cyberspace Association for the purposes of ICANN Board meetings, and be directed to advocate for the creation of an open domain registrants
constituency on behalf of the Cyberspace Association and it's members.

7) That Joop be appointed temporary web master of the organization, with the power to delegate this duty to a third party with the approval of the executive committee.

8) That this act will put the IDNO and its history and controversies in the past once and for all, and that all members agree to let the entire issue pass without any further comment publicly or privately, and that this include the members of the executive committee, and that attempting to bring up the IDNO history and issues again is grounds for recall by the list members of any initial executive committee member or representative. The entire IDNO issue is to be considered dropped, and not relevant to our further work. Anyone who cannot accept this and abide by it is to be considered ineligible for any leadership or elected position within the Cyberspace Association.

9) That the association act by on list consensus processes wherever possible, with the executive committee ruling where no consensus is clear from the list activity.

Participate to that nomination and election the Members of the IDNO-DISCUSS list.

Acceptance and Elections periods will be as per the Charter published on the IDNO site http://www.idno.org

The nominations and the vote will be carried publicly and managed in full transparency in front of the idno-discuss mailing list.
