color=#0000ff size=2>If I read the BC charter paragraph you copied
below correctly, it doesn't seem to exclude not-for-profit registries or
registrars; is that correct? Also, it doesn't seem to exclude for-profit
organizations that are planning to become registries or registrars until
such time that they do, i.e., when they execute a registry or registar agreement
with ICANN; is that also correct?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>A live example that relates to these questions involves the
proposed City TLD Constituency (Interest Group). Dirk raised this issue in
the RyC meeting in Sydney. Would they be able to be a part of the BC until
such time that they execute a registry agreement? They are able to
participate as observers in the RyC and are already doing
that.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Quick question;<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Where do Registry Operators fit in the “new” GNSO? That is,
those that perform back end Registry Services for new gTLD Applicants
(or Registries) and potentially ccTLD Managers...<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Are they able to form a Constituency under the Commercial
Stakeholder Group? Clearly they are not able to be under the “Contracted”
Party House as they have no contract with ICANN.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I note from the proposed BC charter;<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B><I>3.2. Specificity* </I></B><I><o:p></o:p></I></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><I>In keeping with the selective membership criteria of
other GNSO constituencies, the Business Constituency represents the interests
of a specific sector of Internet users. The purpose of the Constituency is to
represent the interests of businesses using the Internet for, in its broad
sense, electronic commerce with customers. <o:p></o:p></I></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><I>To avoid conflicts of interest, this typically excludes
for-profit entities whose primary relationship with ICANN is as a domain name
service provider, such as a registry or registrar, as well as from other
groups whose interests may not be aligned with business
users.<o:p></o:p></I></P>
