Well Alan,<br>
Not really on topic, however, just to correct the record.<br>
<br>
On individual members I include the entire section, please note the
first sentence.<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Charter">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Charter</a><br>
<p><strong>2.2.5. New Individual Members ‑ Eligible Individuals</strong>.</p>
<p>Individual persons who agree to advocate for a noncommercial
public‑interest position within the Stakeholder group and <u>who
fall within one of the following three categories are eligible
to join as an “Individual Member”:</u></p>
<p>1. An Individual who has registered domain name(s) for personal,
family or other noncommercial use; or</p>
<p>2. An Individual Internet user who is primarily concerned with
the noncommercial public‑interest aspects of domain name policy,
and is not represented in ICANN through membership in another
Supporting Organization or GNSO Stakeholder Group; or</p>
<p>3. An Individual who is employed by or a member of a non-member
noncommercial organization (universities, colleges, large NGOs)
can join NCSG in his or her individual capacity if their
organization has not already joined the NCSG. The Executive
Committee shall, at its discretion, determine limits to the total
number of Individual members who can join from any single
organization (provided the limit shall apply to all Organizations,
of the same size category, equally).</p>
<p>An individual who is a member of or employee of a noncommercial
organization, which is itself a member of the NCSG, may apply for,
or retain membership, in the NCSG only under the first criteria
for individual membership, i.e. be an individual noncommercial
registrant. Such membership is subject to Executive Committee
review.</p>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
For Organizational members, yes, they need to be registrants, for
individual users they do not. The NCSG SG accepts individual non
commercial users. And except for NARALO, and perhaps soon EUROLO,
is the only place for the civil society user.<br>

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>

<pre>Actually, Evan, the
Noncommercial Users Constituency does represent ALL users within the
GNSO. Ownership of a domain name is NOT a prerequisite for NCUC
membership. Per the NCUC Bylaws, section 111(h)(11) NCUC membership is
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.
