[CCWG-Accountability] the term "community"

[Alan Greenberg]

I am afraid that is not quite the case.

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."

Also, the NCUC is a subset of the NCSG, and the NCSG charter 2.2.1.2 
includes those words as well.

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.
