<br>
NCSG Executive Committee is conducting Constituency Review, as required<br>
by NCSG Charter 2.3.3, to determine if any recommendation should be made<br>
to the Board regarding a change in status of any Constituency.<br>
<br>
To that end we ask you to answer to the questions below.<br>
<br>
1a) What is the purpose of your constituency, as defined<br>
in your bylaws?<br>
(Preferably both link to your bylaws in the web as<br>
well as copy of the relevant text.)<br>
<br>
1b) Are all your members also members of NCSG (yes/no)?<br>
(This is just formal confirmation that you fulfill<br>
the requirement in NCSG Charter.)<br>
<br>
1c) What is the the common interest or background of<br>
your membership and the focus of your group?<br>
<br>
2) Do you have a publicly dynamic, publicly (world-readably) archived<br>
mailing lists and where their archives can be found (URL)?<br>
Please provide a brief description of the list(s), in particular<br>
if they are used for actual decision-making or only discussion.<br>
<br>
If you have other, non-public fora that are used for<br>
decision-making or significant discussions within your<br>
constituency, please describe them as well.<br>
<br>
3) Do you participate actively in relevant NCSG and GNSO<br>
PDP Working Groups or Work Teams?<br>
<br>
Please provide as complete as possible list of such groups or teams<br>
and names of your people who've participated in them over the<br>
years 2015 and 2016, noting also any who've been Chairs or Co-Chairs.<br>
<br>
4) Have you participated actively in submitting comments and<br>
other policy statements to the NCSG and GNSO?<br>
<br>
Please provide as complete list as possible of such comments<br>
and statements you've made during 2015-2016, with links to<br>
where they've been published.<br>
<br>
Please also describe the process your constituency uses<br>
to make and agree on public comments:<br>
How is it done?<br>
If any non-members participate, how is that handled?<br>
<br>
5) Do you have a list of your current membership publicly<br>
visible in the web? If so, where (URL)?<br>
<br>
Do you have at least 10 participants who've signed up to<br>
an updated SOI?<br>
<br>
If your public member list does not have links to SOIs,<br>
please provide a list (links to SOIs) of at least 10<br>
of your members.<br>
<br>
For all questions: If you have plans or projects in progress<br>
that may affect your situation in the future, including but<br>
not limited to changes in your bylaws, please describe them.<br>
<br>
Please reply to me by 15 May, 2017, even if you can't come up with<br>
complete answers to all questions by that time. We will to ask for<br>
more details and clarifications as needed and engage you in discussion<br>
about possible problems, and welcome any questions or concerns you may<br>
have about this before answering.<br>
<br>
The intent is to complete the review by ICANN59 meeting in Johannesburg,<br>
but we may take longer if needed.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Tapani Tarvainen<br>
NCSG Chair<br>
