[council] FYI - New GNSO Constituency Notice of Intent - Not-for-Profit Organizations Constituency

[Robin Gross]

Alex,

I wish I could say that this isn't 'par for the course' with ICANN
staff to try to divide and conquer us.  It is also unfortunate that
the proponents of this proposal don't seem to be aware that EVERY
organization in NCSG is a nonprofit organization.  If Debbie could
have found the time to participate in a single NCSG policy call over
the last year (or on this NCSG mailing list), the noncommercial
membership might have been given a chance to learn about this effort
and provide feedback.

ICANN staff's manipulation thrives in a communication vacuum.   And
they do work closely with the commercial constituencies on how to
shape the noncommercial space.

Best,
Robin
