that it would never be appropriate for contracted party SGs to admit new
constituencies. As I previously pointed out in a response to Philip, a new
RySG was already proposed in Cairo and the RyC in working on the RySG charter is
definitely assuming that there could be new RySG constituencies and hence our
charter needs to accommodate that.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>I tend to agree with Philip. If the second house is purely
restricted to parties who have contracts with ICANN, then it will never be
appropriate for it admit new constituencies. Surely, this was not the
intent of the BGC.</DIV>
