                                    (Draft) Resolution for
                Non-Commercial Supporting Organization


The current Non-Commercial Domain Names Holders Constituency
of Domain Names Supporting Organization has been recognized by
the ICANN Board in Santiago in August ICANN meeting, 2000.

Since then, non-commercial domain names holders constituency
has been encountering an endless challenge in the DNSO. It is always
outnumbered in DNSO decision-making process by the majority votes.

It turned out that it is almost impossible for Non-commercial domain
name holders constituency to address its concerns which has reflected
underrepresented groups such as small businesses world-wide,
developing countries,

NCDNHC members' interests are too diverse being mixed in this same
group under the name of non-commercial domain names holders
constituency.: There are education and research organizations, civil
society groups, consumer groups, activist groups for citizens, non-
commercial purpose lobbyist groups etc..

As WG-Review and At-Large Study Committee recognized in their report,
DNSO has been suffering from its imbalanced structure from its start,
five commercial-oriented constituencies, Registrar, ISP, IP, Business,
gTLD constituency, versus one non-commercial oneand ccTLD [note1]

Non-Commercial Domain Name Holders Constituency of the DNSO
hereby declares its withdrawl from DNSO in Montevideo and its new
formation of Non-Commercial Supporting Organization, NCSO
supporting ccSO.

Non-Commercial Supporting Organization shall be formed in
conjunction with ccSO in near future and this movement should not
be confused with At-Large structure within ICANN.

Therefore, ICANN can be restructured as follows:

Half of Structure:

        ASO(Address Supporting Organization),
        CSO(Commercial Supporting Organization): Previous DNSO
        ccSO(ccTLD Supporting Organization)
        NCSO(Non-Commercial Supporting Organization)
        PSO(Protocol Supporting Organization)

The Half of Structure

        At-Large Members:

[Note1] ccTLD is difficult to categorize whether it is commercial or
non-commercial in a simple way.
