Basically I've been talking to folks who are smarter than I am about Motion 8 (establishing a nominations committee - "NomCom") and I actually found some time to go and read/comprehend the proposal in more depth. A 9th motion has also landed which is wildly onerous. No. No thanks. #InternetNZ

Please share Motion 8 mostly seems to be about allowing the board to create any rules it likes to block candidates

Kia Ora Jason, New follow here. Is there a layman’s breakdown of what the FSU goal to control internetNZ is? Some of my Bluesky favs are all over this, well informed and voting but you’re the first I’ve seen to give a voting outline with explanations. Keen to get involved but need more info.

As in what FSU says they want to accomplish with a capture of Internet NZ or what we surmise the likely goals really are?

Summation will do perfectly as it often right with the FSU.

They tell their constituents that Internet NZ will censor them by seizing their .nz domain names. But they already have one board member (Ayling) who knows that’s disingenuous. Seems more likely they’re interested in the significant funds INZ allocates in grants and diverting that to their causes.
