	Whatever we call them, organisations like INTUG (that
Rosemary was formerly Chair of) I think would be very valuable within
ICANN, have a very valid role to play, and clearly are in support of
the consumer agenda theough they represent mostly business users of
telecomms not individuals. I fully support such organisations being
represented within ICANN.
	But as commercial users, while they have more in common in
attitude with NCSG, they technically belong in CSG. Hence we have a
problem - how is NCSG to support such organisation without admitting
them as members?
	I think working to a constructive solution to this issue
would be more valuable than either ignoring the issue or moving ahead
with a constituency strategy that doesn't take into acocunt some
really valuable organisations.
