NPOC Members in Support

["npoc" <npoc@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mr. Beckstrom, Mr. Dengate-Thrush and the ICANN Board of Directors:

 

The members of the Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency
(NPOC) greatly appreciates you consideration of its petition to form a
new constituency within the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG).
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the petition and
charter of the prospective NPOC.  

 

We believe the petition for recognition of the NPOC as expressed in the
proposed NPOC charter adequately explains how the NPOC will improve the
ability of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) to carry out
its policy-development responsibilities.  We believe the ICANN community
will benefit from a new constituency that will robustly represent the
non-commercial perspective of organizational registrants and
organizational users of domain names.  Also, we believe the NPOC's
outreach activities and outreach plan demonstrate how NPOC will provide
a global voice for not-for-profit/NGOs within ICANN.

 

Therefore, we urge the ICANN Board to promptly recognize the Not for
Profit Organizations Constituency in accordance with Section 5(4) of
Article X of the current ICANN Bylaws.  

 

Respectfully submitted,
