Greetings Nicolas,<div><br></div><div>I generally buy the Chambers of Commerce arguments... NPOC is not submitting any Chamber of Commerce membership application... for the USOC case please refer to the stream of emails and we can exchange further, if you wish.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Generally I think Avri's criteria of assessing what are the main activities of an organization applying for membership is excellent.

Alain,<br>

Don't make this about "being" or "not being" a *non-profit*. It is
about being or not being *non-commercial*. Non-profit and
non-commercial are objectivaly distinctive. one of the distinction
we chose to make was about the commercial status of the org members
themselves, which is a very objective way to discriminate. <br>
<br>
Tell me straight please, would you have wanted to draft rules that
would have enabled Chambers of Commerce to apply for and receive
NCSG membership? This is a trust-building or trust-breaking question
as far as i'm concern. And a fundamental one at that.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Thank you to
Alain for speaking up to discuss why the U.S.
Olympic Committee is truly a non-profit entity.
The USOC and its predecessor organizations have been
responsible for overseeing amateur sports in this
country, not just at the elite level but also
encouraging sports, healthy lifestyles, competition
and fair play at the grassroots levels as well. The
USOC has many member organizations, some of which
are community-based organizations such as the YMCA
or Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the Girl
Scouts, etc. But the primary members are the
National Governing Bodies (“NGBs”) for the
individual sports (<i>e.g.,
</i>USA Track & Field, USA Swimming, U.S. Ski
and Snowboard Association, U.S. Figure Skating, U.S.
Tennis Association). The majority of the USOC’s
budget goes to support athletes, either through
direct grants or through funding the NGBs. The USOC
also provides support to the NGBs (and their
athletes) in terms of governance support, coaching
assistance, sports medicine, sports psychology and
the like. The USOC also operates three U.S. Olympic
Training Centers where thousands of athletes train
each year. Here are a few statistics for you: </span></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">That is its vision, but it
is debatable that is main purpose is to
administer commercial licensing agreement.
Or at least this seems to be the resumption
of those who voted against their membership.<br>
<br>
The charter indicates:<br>
"3. Is engaged in online activities that are
primarily noncommercial, including, e.g.,
advocacy, educational, religious, human
rights, charitable, scientific and artistic,
and"<br>
<br>
So the question is, what are its primary
activities, granting licenses or supporting
athletes. I have certainly heard arguments on
both sides of this issue, and personally think
it is a toss up. For example, it is well
known that most olympians have to find their
own funding in the US. This varies by
country, but in the US, the US Olympic
Committee does not support athletes as far as
I have been able to discover. So what do they
do beyond sanction events and licensing?</p>

exemption under 501 c 3</p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As the charter indicates,
being not-for-profit is not sufficient. For
example the Chamber of Commerce in
not-for-profit and yet obviously not a
non-commercial entity. Specifically:<br>
<br>
"4. In the case of a membership-based
organization, the organization should not only
be noncommercial itself, but should have a
primarily noncommercial focus, and the
membership should also be primarily composed
of noncommercial members. (E.g., a chamber of
commerce, though it may be a noncommercial
organization itself, and might even have some
noncommercial members, is primarily composed
of commercial organizations and has a
commercial focus and would not be eligible for
membership.)"<br>
<br>
So the question becomes, who are the
principles members? I do not know the answer
to this.<br>

representative's authority to represent an
organizational applicant should be
independently verified by the EC (NSCG
Charter 2.2.4.1).<br>

> Aggregate voting / representation is
not permitted for organizations. Each
organization must be represented by a
different person. No single person (or
group of persons, i.e., a law firm) can
represent two or more organizations in
NCSG at the same time. This policy
discourages attempts to game the system
through aggregating membership votes.<br>

> Organizations with a nonprofit legal
structure are nonetheless ineligible for
membership in NCSG if they are
substantially a commercial or business
activity and their interests are more
appropriately represented in one of the

representative to NCSG cannot be a GNSO
Council Representative for the
Intellectual Property Constituency (or
other officer or member of the IPC or

> The EC is in the process of
establishing a NCSG Financial Committee
(as per NCSG Charter 2.1. & 2.6.) and
is looking for volunteers from among the
NCSG membership - people with fundraising
expertise and time to devote to NCSG
fundraising activities and ICANN resource
allocations. So please let an EC member
know if you'd like to be considered for
membership on the NCSG Financial
Committee. Thank you!<br>
