Hi everyone,

the minutes of the last board meetings are online now:

http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/prelim-report-31jul08.htm

It seems the GNSO will now adopt a new structure consisting of two
"houses". Indidividual members will become part of one of the houses.

It is not clear yet whether individual users will form their own
constitutency or whether they join existing constituencies.

  The NCUC is now accepting individual members, for the time being
without voting rights. The NCUC is working on a model for accommodating
both individual and organizational votes. As I have been told, they do
already differentiate between large and small organizations (one versus
two votes I believe) and might expand this system to integratee
individuals.

Two questions:
Would such a system acceptable also for EURALO?
Do we have any opinion on the restructuring of the GNSO and the role of
ALAC/RALOs in this?
