<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Members of the NCUC,<br>
<br>
thanks and greetings to all, and especially to the members in the
Asia Pacific region, to whom I send this note together with the
request to consider how we can work towards an increase in
membership in our region. Not just in numbers, but committed
membership reflecting, arguing, and advocating for the space of
NCUC - the Non Commercial Users Constituency - in ICANN. Our Asia
Pacific region is experiencing enormous growth in terms of the use
of the Internet and the use of mobile phones. But this physical
growth is mainly measured in economic and technical terms, while
tensions and conflicts between operators - commercials and
including the states - and non-commercial users who enjoy the
openness of communication beyond what we could imagine only some
years ago, need careful but intensive attention. I think our
Constituency should play more of a role on the way into future
developments.<br>
<br>
Of course, sharing also among the different regions of the world
is not only welcome, but necesary.<br>
<br>
With my best greetings, while I share, this time, also some
references in my personal blog, about some concerns in our
specific environment.<br>
<br>
