In addition to your views on these questions, the Working Group is particularly interested in receiving supporting data and information related to the questions outlined below.

It is also endorsed by public interest groups outside of NCUC. We are all deeply concerned about the July 30, 2009 ICANN Board decisions regarding the restructuring of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO). We believe that the Noncommercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) chartering process has been seriously flawed on both procedural and substantive grounds. We appeal to you to address these problems before permanent damage is done to ICANN’s reputation, to the GNSO reform process, and to the interests of noncommercial users of the Internet. http://ncdnhc.org/profiles/blogs/ncuc-letter-to-icann-board-of NCUC Letter Makes 3 Simple Requests: Will the ICANN Board cooperate? by Milton Mueller Yesterday the Chair of ICANN's noncommercial users constituency, Robin Gross of IPJustice, sent an important letter to the ICANN Board and its new CEO, Rod Beckstrom. The letter, which had the unanimous support of 145 members of the GNSO constituency, makes three specific requests of the Board. The Board's willingness to grant these demands is being carefully watched by civil society groups, and is considered a test of ICANN's willingness to accommodate - or exclude -- the participation of public interest groups. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2009/8/20/4294870.html NCUC Sends Letter to ICANN Board and New CEO, Asks for Direct Meeting With the Full Board Milton Meuller on the IGP blog reports that last week the Chair of ICANN's noncommercial users constituency, Robin Gross of IPJustice, sent a letter to the ICANN Board and its new CEO, Rod Beckstrom. http://www.circleid.com/posts/ncuc_sends_letter_to_icann_board_and_new_ceo/ “Top Ten Myths About Civil Society Participation in ICANN” From the Non-Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) ICANN Staff and the commercial constituencies at ICANN have been busy spreading mis-information about civil society participation at ICANN - largely to keep civil society and noncommercial interests marginalized. For example, ICANN is not allowing the noncommercial users to elect their representatives on the GNSO Policy Council and will instead "appoint" representatives, unlike all the other constituencies at ICANN. Here are a few of the top myths spread about civil society at ICANN and the truth about these myths. http://ipjustice.org/wp/2009/08/21/top-ten-myths-about-civil-society-participation-in-icann-from-the-non-commercial-users-constituency-ncuc/ http://blog.internetgovernance.org/pdf/TopTenNCUC.pdf More top-down manipulation of the policy process by Milton Mueller Rod Beckstrom really has his work cut out for him. ICANN’s policy staff, which is supposed to merely facilitate an open, bottom-up process of policy making by you, me and other stakeholders, has once again taken advantage of the organization’s lack of real accountability to put itself in charge of deciding who can and cannot participate in making critical policy decisions. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2009/8/19/4292728.html Threats to Internet Oversight Mount as Key Protection Expires by Steve DelBianco Before the US Government abdicates its oversight of ICANN it should take a long, hard look at the mounting efforts by world governments to assume greater power over the Internet's addressing system.
