2LD Options and Draft Motions (prepared by Steven Heath)
Motion 1 Abstract
The Request for Votes for the .bank.nz application requires a voting electorate. After review and consideration 3 options have been presented for discussion and voting.
Option 1
The electorate for the RFV shall be members of good standing of ISOCNZ as of the day before the vote is called.
Reason: Known community that is easy to reach and identify which has a greater propensity to understand the issues surrounding the vote.
Option 2
The electorate for the RFV shall be name holders or name holder representatives of a name in the .nz name space. A person would be only be able to vote once no matter how many names they had that qualified.
Reason: The addition of a new 2LD directly affects current name holders. By having a name in the .nz spaces means they are an existing stakeholder in the .nz name space.
Option 3
The electorate for the RFV shall be any person that has an email address in the .nz name space, i.e. steven.heath@isocnz.org.nz but not steven.heath@seranova.com. A person would be only be able to vote once no matter how many email addresses they had that qualified.
Reason: By having an address in the .nz name space means they have an affinity with .nz and provides the widest possible community. Also does not exclude anyone based on having membership or an existing name.
Preferred Motion 1 wording:
That the electorate for the RFV for the .bank.nz be any person that has an email address in the .nz name space. A person would be only be able to vote once no matter how many email addresses they had that qualified.
Motion 2
That the voting process as outlined in the document called '2LD voting process' be adopted for the .bank.nz and any subsequent votes for a 2LD.
Motion 3
That the non refundable fee for 2LD applications that pass the RFV be set at $1,000.00.
Motion 4
That election.com be used to run the web based voting of the .bank.nz RFV.
Note: the cost of using election.com is $2,000 (one time fee)
Reason: this allows a totally impartial independent operation for the voting as well as a test case for using a 3rd party to provide voting services during the time of the office relocation and settling in.
Motion 5
That Steven Heath be appointed the voting official for the .bank.nz RFV as well as up to two scrutineers, one from the applicant and one appointed by council.
