Excellent math research - where does it go, beyond our internal NCUC
list? Do we have a PUBLIC wiki or something where facts can be added,
updated etc., and one can invite and direct other people (who many not
be readers of the NCUC-DISCUSS list) to see these facts?<br>
<br>
One of the problem which led to the present crisis is - I think - that
we were not organized well enough (like other interests were, who have
other resources) to spread our side of the story as it developed.<br>

<div>According to the Business Constituency's website, they have <a

<div>According to the IPR Constituency's website, they have <a

<div>According to the ISP Constituency's <a moz-do-not-send="true"

membership lists and haven't had a post to their <a

in 2009). But, according the 2006 LSE Report (the last documented
account of the ISP Constituency's membership, they have 42 members.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So if we add the membership of these 3 commercial constituencies
together, we get total of <span class="Apple-style-span"
style="text-decoration: underline;">104 members in the Commercial
Stakeholder Group,</span> who will elect 6 GNSO Councilors.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Contrast:</div>
<div>NCUC has <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://ncdnhc.org/page/membership-roster">142 members</a> but
noncommercial users will not be allowed to elect any of our new GNSO
Councilors on the claim that we are too small to deserve to elect all 6
GNSO Councilors.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Did anyone from ICANN staff/SIC do any math before they ruled
non-commercial users are too small to deserve to elect all 6 GNSO
Councilors?<br>

<div> NCSG membership = 142 members (allowed 3 elected
representatives)</div>
<div> CSG membership = 104 members (allowed 6 representatives)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What was the decision-making process that led to ICANN's
determination that noncommercial users are too small? Seriously, we
deserve to know how they arrived at that decision and upon what facts
the decision was based - it is our elected representation that they are
meddling with. ICANN will have to answer this.</div>
