RE: [ga] Resolution for Non-Commercial Domain Name Holders Supporting Organization

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@verisign.com>]

I don't suppose anyone would have any sympathy if I complained that VeriSign
"is always outnumbered" in the NC?  :)

My apologies; I couldn't resist.

Subject: [ga] Resolution for Non-Commercial Domain Name Holders
Supporting Organization


Dear members, 

The following resolution has been advanced within the Non-Commercial 
Constituency.  While it is too early to tell whether the proposition will 
meet with any degree of success, it does highlight the frustration that many

of us are feeling...

                                    Resolution for
Non-Commercial Domain Name Holders Supporting Organization


The current Non-Commercial Domain Names Holders Constituency of Domain Names

Supporting Organization has been recognized by the ICANN Board in Santiago
in 
August ICANN meeting, 2000.

Since then, non-commercial domain names holders constituency has been 
encountering an endless challenge in the DNSO. It is always outnumbered in 
DNSO decision-making process by the majority votes.

It turned out that it is almost impossible for Non-commercial domain name 
holders constituency to address its concerns which has been many times quite

different from the other constituencies especially commercial-based 
constituencies easily to be buried due to innate DNSO imbalanced structure, 
five commercial constituencies, Registrar, ISP, IP, Business, gTLD, one 
non-commercial and ccTLD [note1], which has been pointed out by WG-Review 
report earlier this year and by At-Large Study Committee process, recently.

On the other hand, there have been concerns expressed by NCDNHC members that

there are too diverse interests mixed in this same group under the name of 
non-commercial domain names holders
constituency, which is too vague to define its common ground and too broad
to 
reach consensus many times within the constituency: There are education and 
research organizations, civil society groups, consumer groups, activist 
groups for citizens, non-commercial
purpose lobbyist groups etc..

Therefore, the non-commercial domain name holders constituency of the DNSO 
hereby declare its withdrawl from DNSO in Montevideo and its new formation
of 
Non-Commercial Domain Names Holders Supporting Organization, NCSO.

[Note1] ccTLD is difficult to categorize whether it is commercial or 
non-commercial in a simple way.
