[CCWG-Accountability] the term "community"

[Avri Doria]

Well Alan,
Not really on topic, however, just to correct the record.

On individual members I include the entire section, please note the
first sentence.

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Charter

*2.2.5. New Individual Members ‑ Eligible Individuals*.

Individual persons who agree to advocate for a noncommercial
public‑interest position within the Stakeholder group and _who fall
within one of the following three categories are eligible to join as an
“Individual Member”:_

1. An Individual who has registered domain name(s) for personal, family
or other noncommercial use; or

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

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).

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.


--

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.
