The NCSG has paid very little attention to the cases of very specific non
commercial users, like the IGOs, INGOs and the Red Cross group of
international and national organizations. While the GNSO made its policy
recommendations back in 2014, the Board has accepted only part of those
recommendations and those have been implemented rather slowly by ICANN, as
the Registry of .int.
This neglect has reached a high level of attention in both the Helsinki and
Hyderabad GAC communiques. I worry that the NCPH has participated very
little  in those discussions and let the Council and GAC leaderships to
handle this discussions with little or no input from our part.

activities over the last 2 years, from my role a NomCom appointee to the
Council
