[Sam Lanfranco]

As NPOC treasurer (no funds) and NPOC delegate to the NCSG Finance
Committee  (no funds) I support the proposed Charter wording.

> Dear members of NPOC,

> Our new charter is finally at the stage, where we will send it to
> staff to
> do their own review. Here it is:
>
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HRcUOxtoMUzJnfXhXm-wpJd3vDmVRG9uFTRyojOAbxo/edit?usp=sharing
>
> If no new comments have arrived to it by Friday (25.10.), we'll
> send it off
> to staff before our F2F meeting in Montreal.
>
> The only bit that was changed since the last iteration, was the
> mission.
> Here's the new version:
>
> "1.2 NPOC’s mission is to represent Not-for-Profit Organizations
> by
> addressing their operational concerns with the generic Top-level
> Domains
> (gTLDs). Operational Concerns are defined as issues arising from
> the use of
> the gTLDs by the not-for-profit organizations to achieve their own
> mission.
> Those can include but are not limited to Domain Name Fraud,
> Intellectual
> Property Abuse, Privacy, Security, Stability, and Resiliency, as
> well as
> transparent registration process and pricing and continued
> ownership of
> domain names."
>
> The only change to it from older versions was the highlighted part
> "process
> and pricing", as we felt it'd be good to specify what kind of
> transparency
> we'd want. Supposedly, without the specification, one could think
> we'd want
> the registrants' information to be public. That's not what we want.
