    catching up on a lot of discussion folks. This debate may be more
    advance now than I am aware of.<br>
    <br>
    Alain,<br>
    <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>
    <br>
    Also, why isn't the org in question interested in joining the CSG?<br>

                    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>

                          "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>

                            > 2) its mission: To support U.S. Olympic
                            and Paralympic athletes in achieving
                            sustained competitive excellence and
                            preserve the Olympic ideals, and thereby
                            inspire all Americans.<br>
                            ><br>
                            > 3) It is a not-for-profit with IRS
                            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>

                              thus does not make a not-for-profit a
                              commercial organization. I think you are
                              confusing the USOC per se with the various

                              represent two or more organizations in
                              NCSG at the same time.  This policy
                              discourages attempts to game the system

                              > Organizations with a nonprofit legal

                              activity and their interests are more
                              appropriately represented in one of the
                              commercial stakeholder groups (NCSG
                              Charter 2.2.2).<br>
                              ><br>
                              > An organization's official
                              representative to NCSG cannot be a GNSO

                              Intellectual Property Constituency (or
                              other officer or member of the IPC or
                              CSG).  Outside trademark lawyers are
                              discouraged as the official representative
                              for an org to NCSG since NCSG is devoted
                              to protecting noncommercial interests.<br>
                              ><br>
                              > ON A SEPARATE ISSUE:<br>
                              > 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>
