I am afraid that is not quite the case.<br><br>
Your reference to III(h)(11) is correct, but you missed III(a)(2) which
says "Be the exclusive user of at least one domain name. This can be
verified by its listing as the registrant and/or administrative contact
in the WHOIS data of the domain name, by the name resolving to a website
controlled by and representing the organization, or other indications
that prove to Secretary-Treasurer and Chair that the prospective Member
Organization is the primary user of a domain name."<br><br>
Also, the NCUC is a subset of the NCSG, and the NCSG charter 2.2.1.2
includes those words as well.<br><br>
The issue of whether GNSO participation was open to non-registrants was
discussed during the last GNSO re-organization, and the Board made it
clear that it was registrants. I believe that the ALAC was the only part
of ICANN that objected to that.<br><br>

open to:
ii) An Individual Internet user who is primarily concerned with the
public-interest aspects of domain name policy, and is not represented in
ICANN through membership in another Supporting Organization or GNSO
Stakeholder Group;
Domain name ownership, again, is not required, contrary to your
assertion. Hope this clarifies things a bit.
