Even though policy differences arise amongst the various interests, this approach ensures that consideration is given to all voices, be they from national governments, commercial providers, internet users or, like yourself, a non-commercial participant.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0in'><span style='color:black'>Stakeholder groups such as the Non-Commercial User Constituency (NCUC) bring together organizations like yours so that the non-commercial community can speak with one voice during policy discussions.
