Peter:

The Non-Commercial Domain Names Holders Constituency (and for sure other
ones) history is, perhaps, very different to the items you mentioned:

1.  NCDNHC was created by ICANN
2.  Those organizations that requested the creation of NCDNHC made a call
to other organizations to join the NCDNHC (no mission statement at that
time, just the idea that the Non-Commercial sector will be represented also
in ICANN)
3.  Organizations began to join
4.  Such organizations worked together to create a charter where, and just
then, we began to define a mission statement and objectives
5.  Constituency was finally aprooved.

In fact Peter, there were a constituency (I don't remember which one) that
was created and then two different groups was self-organizing it, and both
created a charter with mission statement, etc.   And then ICANN selected
the group with the best charter, mission statement, etc, for aprooval as a
constituency.

The bottom line here is that ICANN Board has to create a constituency
before doing anything else.   Please, note that "create" a constituency is
not the same as "aprooval" of a constituency.

Also, ICANN Board never requested from any constituency a financial
strcuture, and is not an obligation to have one.   Of course that if after
aprooval of the constituency, it may happen that expenses are made and that
such constituency may contribute or not, this is another issue....but such
issues are not required for the ICANN By-Laws to have a new constituency.
 Or at least the ICANN By-Laws doesn't specify it.

Best Regards
Vany
