<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi to all!<BR>
<BR>
for me IPC is in the Commercial Stakeholder Group and Red Cross(and others) fit better into NonCommercial Stakeholder Group<BR>
<BR>
I am also keen for NCSG to have big organisational members (with the support and resources one gets from being part of a big organisation) to deal with our resource/information asymmetry problem....<BR>
<BR>
to be quite direct about this - we need more grunt on our side of the policy issues negotiating table<BR>
<BR>
Cheers<BR>

Will NPOC be invalided if new NCSG charter is approved?<BR>
(<A HREF="https://st.icann.org/ncsg-ec/index.cgi?ncsg_charter_board_issue_resolution">https://st.icann.org/ncsg-ec/index.cgi?ncsg_charter_board_issue_resolution</A>)<BR>
<BR>
2.2. Membership<BR>
<BR>
a) vests primary unit of authority (including Council representation)<BR>
only via direct SG-wide voting.<BR>
<BR>
2.2.1. Eligible organizations.<BR>
<BR>
b) explicit requirement to be non-profit serving only non-profit<BR>
motives and activities<BR>
<BR>
2.2.2. Ineligible organizations.<BR>
<BR>
c) IPC interests are already being served elsewhere within ICANN<BR>
<BR>
I submit that Board rushing with NPOC approval will then terribly<BR>
fragment NCSG, negating our recent years exponential membership base<BR>
growth and irreparably harm Non Commercial Interests on the internet,<BR>
worldwide.<BR>
