> *Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose*****
> In accordance with the requirements of the "Process for Recognition of New
> GNSO Constituencies, the Cyber Cafe Association of India (CCAOI) has
> formally requested that a prospective new GNSO Constituency to be called
> "Public Internet Access/Cybercafé Ecosystem (PIA/CC)" be approved as a

> ICANN Staff. The ICANN community is invited to comment on all aspects of
> this application.****
> *Section II: Background*****
>
> On 24 June 2011, the ICANN Board approved a "Process for Recognition of
> New GNSO Constituencies." The process was designed to accomplish four
> goals:****
>
>    1. Optimize the considerable time and effort required to form,
>    organize, and propose a new GNSO Constituency by prescribing a streamlined
>    sequence of steps and associated evaluation criteria that are objective,
>    fair, and transparent - with ample opportunity for community input;****
>    2. Delegate more authority to each GNSO Stakeholder Group in
>    evaluating new Constituency proposals while maintaining the Board's
>    oversight role;****
>    3. Manage the entire process to a flexible, but specific and limited
>    timeframe; and****
>    4. Provide a partial set of criteria for use during the periodic
>    review of the GNSO.****
>
> The approved process contains two distinct steps or phases: Applicant and
> Candidate. A petitioner initiates the process by completing an Application
> for Candidacy (AFC) form. Staff then opens a Public Comment period and
> forwards the application to the GNSO Stakeholder Group in which the
> applicant requests placement. The SG has 90 days to review the application
> and formulate an "Accept" or "Reject" decision, with supporting rationale,
> which is then subject to Board ratification. Following successful
> completion of the Applicant Phase, a limited six-month Candidate Phase
> follows during which a provisional Constituency, acting in an observer
> status, is expected to demonstrate having achieved certain participation
> and membership recruiting standards as well as producing a charter
> document. At the end of the second phase, the SG, with Board concurrence,
> decides whether the candidate will be approved as a Recognized
> Constituency. The entire procedure, the phase criteria, as well as a
> process flowchart are available for download at:
