Maybe they should join the NCUC?

I was struggling to find a place for a charity to call "home" within the 
ICANN 'silo' system. Surely not in the "Business and Commercial" users - 
but if it was, then that would also be the place for a City (which is 
primarily a not-for-profit business run by the Mayor and funded by the 
citizens).

I'm sure there are many other classes of entity which don't currently 
have a well defined "home". Trade Unions, for example, which *do* have 
an "Advisory Committee" within the OECD's consultative process.
