Hi, 

This was an NCUC initiative.  At this point it its looking for further support among the NCSG membership.

If it being a NCUC initiative makes it a problem for NPOC, I am sure we will all understand.  In any case, the real value is for individuals to forward it on to any privacy our data protection officials they may have contract with - assuming they support the goal of getting such input into the ICANN discussions.
