[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fwd: [Important] About your membership

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Dear all

This is an important notice by NCSG Chair.

Some of you have already read it carefully and sent me questions and
I'll answer them all publicly as well soon.

Please keep sending any questions you may have and rest assured you
will receive guidance without any fear.

You can also contact your EC if you prefer.

Thank you

Dear members,

NCSG members cannot be a member of another GNSO Stakeholder Group.
They also cannot represent their government on GAC and be a member of
NCSG at the same time. This is not the case with ALAC and At-large, as
long as you have a non-commercial interest in ICANN and not
represented in other ICANN GNSO groups, you can become a member of
NCSG.

Upon applying to join NCSG you come across the statement below:

"I am an Individual Internet user who is primarily concerned with the
public interest aspects of domain name policy and I am not represented
in ICANN through membership in another Supporting Organization or GNSO
Stakeholder Group."

The above statement should not change throughout your membership. This
means that if you have joined the commercial stakeholder group or
another stakeholder group at GNSO, you should inform me immediately
and either resign from NCSG or resign from the other group. Again,
this does not include At-Large and ALAC, as long as you keep the
noncommercial nature of your activities, you can be a member of both
At-large and NCSG. Also, advisory committees that have a technical
nature such as RSSAC and SSAC might not be problematic either.


We will make these points more clear with the help of NCSG-EC in the
near future. If you have doubts, please do not hesitate to contact me
for more clarification.

Best

Farzaneh
