ICANN's Silo model indeed produces a problem for this group. I think what<br>
they really need to do is split themselves for the purposes of ICANN formal<br>
structures into two groups: "non-profit Public Internet Access" and<br>
"Cyber-cafes and other commercial shared computer access providers", apply<br>
for NCSG/CSG group membership but agree amongst themselves that they will<br>
coordinate strongly between them on promoting the clear common interests such<br>
a group has.<br>

I'm afraid I could not support the inclusion of for-profit access providers<br>
in an NCSG constituency as it violates the non-commercial principle of SG<br>
membership.<br>
