Dear Amber,

As per exchange below with Robin can you please arrange to move ASCD on our
website from pending to current member status?

Thank you!

Warm regards, Alain

Robin,

A little immediate feedback:

1) ASCD-noted

2) I disagree with the argument about CPA as the notion you invoke of a
"true non commercial organization" - to use your words - is pretty fuzzy
and arbitrary. If non commercial means  not for profit, then CPA is non
commercial. To avoid these interpretations, NPOC simply  uses the
not-for-profit status as defined per the national legal and regulatory
authorities. It is not culturally appropriate or sensitive  to do otherwise.

3) ITAG - disagree - ITAG had NFP status under Gambian law...

I will get back  to NCSG-EC on the remaining 9 applications in order to
clear the backlog soonest.

Thks Robin,

Very useful to have the history from you. With that information, I will now
work at our end and advise the NCSG-EC of developments as they occur.

Best, Alain

Okay, I've gone and done some research in the archives.  Looking at the
list below and checking with the NCSG-EC records:

1.  ASCD was accepted as a NCSG member back in February.

2.  CPA was denied membership in Dec because it was deemed more
appropriately an initiative of governments and business working together as
opposed to a true noncommercial organization.

3.  ITAG's application was not accepted because it was too commercial of a
focus for NCSG membership (Dec. 2011).

4.  We have not seen NCSG membership applications for the other
organizations listed below.  So if these groups want to apply now, they
should use the online form (or if you have a previous application to NCSG
they filed, just submit that).

Thank you.  I hope this can help to clear this up so we can move through
this group expeditiously.

Best,
Robin

Hi Alain,

Some of those orgs were already accepted for NCSG membership before you
joined the EC *(Do you know which ones?)*.  Take a look at the current NCSG
membership list which is available online from a link from NCSG's
membership page
here<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Membership>
so
we do not re-evaluate groups that we have already accepted - *will do.*

And I don't think we've seen NCSG applications from some of those groups
yet *(which ones please)*.  If there are applications that were filed and
not addressed, just provide a link to that application (it should be on
this email list where applications go) or have the group use the online
form so we can get a NCSG application from them. *With our proposal, we are
trying to avoid a second application from the original NPOC one. I think
this proposal holds for at least some of the pending applicants.*

Thanks!
Robin
