The FSU's amendments would transform #InternetNZ from embodying Te Tiriti partnership, & centring Māori to treating cultural inclusion as optional - rejecting its constitutional framework since 2018, & enduringly undermining its ability to serve all communities in NZ. The FSU poses a serious threat.
Table showing impact of proposed constitutional amendments on InternetNZ across eight governance elements. Te Tiriti Partnership: Current embedded interpretation clauses would be completely removed, violating 2018 commitments and damaging legitimacy as .nz steward. Māori Governance Participation: Minimum three Māori Board members plus appointed member requirements eliminated, enabling complete exclusion of tangata whenua. Cultural Competency: Mandatory Board expertise in te ao Māori reduced to optional "diversity", preventing effective Māori collaboration. Accountability Mechanisms: Multiple grounds including reputational harm weakened with "disrepute" provisions removed, eliminating recourse for Treaty relationship damage. Dispute Resolution: Tikanga-based principles and Māori mediation replaced with generic Western model, removing culturally appropriate pathways. Leadership Structure: Co-Chairs with Māori representation replaced by traditional Chair/Deputy model, eliminating structural partnership. Member Obligations: Protection of Society's reputation narrowed to rule compliance only, permitting public undermining of Treaty commitments. Charitable Objects: Treaty-centred governance support undermined by structural changes, preventing effective Māori collaboration without guaranteed Māori presence.
