ICANN's Silo model indeed produces a problem for this group. I think what
they really need to do is split themselves for the purposes of ICANN formal
structures into two groups: "non-profit Public Internet Access" and
"Cyber-cafes and other commercial shared computer access providers", apply
for NCSG/CSG group membership but agree amongst themselves that they will
coordinate strongly between them on promoting the clear common interests such
a group has.
I'm afraid I could not support the inclusion of for-profit access providers
in an NCSG constituency as it violates the non-commercial principle of SG
membership.
