Hi Mueller,<br><br>you can add me, ok to sign<br><br>Baudouin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/25 Milton L Mueller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mueller@syr.edu">mueller@syr.edu</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US">

<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The organizations and individuals listed below are members
of and participants in the civil society Internet Governance Caucus. We wish to
express our support for version 6.0 of the Noncommercial Stakeholders Group (NCSG)
charter developed by the Noncommercial Users Constituency. While there may
still be room for minor improvements, we believe that the basic principles on
which the charter is founded provide the fairest and most effective basis for
civil society representation in ICANN’s Generic Names Supporting
Organization. </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">We specifically support the proposal because:</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> * It was developed transparently and with many
opportunities for input by relevant ICANN participants;</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> * It makes it easy to form constituencies or affinity
groups, but avoids fragmentation of noncommercial stakeholders into independent
constituencies with separate mailing lists, administrative structures and
representatives; </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> * It permits individual membership in the NCSG and does not
require individuals to fit themselves into arbitrarily-defined categories that
may not correspond to their interests and needs;</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> * It fosters representation of minority viewpoints in
consensus-based Working Groups, but does not rigidly assign votes to small
factions, instead offering them a chance to build consensus</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">We also note that the alternative charter proposal seems
designed to give a specific faction guaranteed Council seats and does not
foster global, geographically diverse representation. </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">We appreciate ICANN’s effort to make its GNSO more
representative and urge you to ratify and accept the NCSG charter.</span></font></p>
