> The organizations and individuals listed below are members of and participants

> developed by the Noncommercial Users Constituency. While there may still be

> charter is founded provide the fairest and most effective basis for civil
> society representation in ICANN¹s Generic Names Supporting Organization.

> We specifically support the proposal because:
>  * It was developed transparently and with many opportunities for input by
> relevant ICANN participants;
>  * 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;
>  * 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;
>  * 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
>  
> 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.
>  
> We appreciate ICANN¹s effort to make its GNSO more representative and urge you
> to ratify and accept the NCSG charter.
