["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you suggesting Philip that "Users House" is a reasonable name?

        There are two primary objections to "Non-contracting parties
House"
         
        a) The world outside ICANN
        We are often too intro-spective when we discuss ICANN issues.
        For me, as someone involved for most of my time in non-ICANN
issues I frequently explain to senior policy makers and CEOs what ICANN
is about.
        Using language to describe a group such as "Users" communicates
to these people.
        "Non-contracting" requires a detailed understanding of ICANN.
         
        b) Self-esteem
        As professionals engaged in a political and economic process we
do not wish to be known for what we are NOT.
