<div> There is currently an effort to organize a "Users" constituency to the GNSO that meets strong resistance from many who are involved in a new constituency for non-commercial domain name (SLD) owners. The person coordinating both efforts on behalf of ICANN is Danny Younger, who deserves a hearty thanks for a thankless job. Anyone wishing to learn more may join the list for this effort or ask me if you need directions.</div>
<div>Sincerely yours,</div>

The Summit objectives are:<BR><BR>4. Objectives<BR>4.1. An informed At-Large community that is better able to interact with other ICANN constituencies,<BR>supporting organisations and advisory committees.<BR>4.2. An informed At-Large community that clearly understands the issues confronting ICANN and ICANN's<BR>roles and responsibilities therein.<BR>4.3. Increased involvement by At-Large in ICANN policy debate.<BR>4.4. An At-Large community that more clearly understands the global, rather than merely regional, point of<BR>view on ICANN-related issues.<BR>4.5. A more engaged At-Large community that clearly understands the timing and framework of various<BR>issues currently confronting ICANN<BR><BR>Although I find one of the "Deliverables" to be even more interesting:<BR><BR>5.5. Work on a "Individual Internet Users" declaration.<BR><BR>(Both of the above citations are from <a href="https://st.icann.org/data/workspaces/summit-wg/attachments/documents:20080214104609-1-21013/original/14%2002%202008%20Summit%20proposal%20and%20budget.pdf" target=_blank mce_href="https://st.icann.org/data/workspaces/summit-wg/attachments/documents:20080214104609-1-21013/original/14%2002%202008%20Summit%20proposal%20and%20budget.pdf">https://st.icann.org/data/workspaces/summit-wg/attachments/documents:20080214104609-1-21013/original/14%2002%202008%20Summit%20proposal%20and%20budget.pdf</a>)<BR><BR>Does anyone have more information on the "Individual Internet Users" declaration?
