Included but not limited to: institutes of higher learning (colleges, 
universities, etc.), public advocacy groups, public charities, 
recreational clubs.

I have received complaints that the public advocacy agenda dominates and 
those with other concerns are excluded from discussion and cannot 
participate meaningfully.  This would permit those identifiable 
communities to self-organize and contribute to the ICANN process in a 
manner in which they feel most comfortable.

They should self-organize in accordance with the ICANN process.

Complaints I have heard from those who feel that the current NCDNHC does 
not suit their needs.
