Christopher,

The RrSG is not affiliated with the NCSG -- they are on opposite sides of
the aisle in the GNSO.

The NCSG is the Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group, one of the two
Stakeholder Groups in the Non-Contracted Parties House of the GNSO. (The
other is the Commercial Stakeholders Group, which in turn comprises the
Business Constituency, the Intellectual Property Constituency and the ISP
and Connectivity Providers Constituency.) (The NCSG in turn comprises the
Non-Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) and the Non-Profit Organization
Operational Concerns Constituency (NPOC).)

The RrSG is the Registrar Stakeholder Group, one of the two Stakeholder
Groups in the Contracted Parties House of the GNSO.  (The other is the
Registry Stakeholder Group (RySG).)

Best regards,

Greg
