Dear Fouad,

I don't find anything in the proposed membership criteria text that
restricts an individual with interest to participate besides that his
participation has to be in a non-commercial nature.

There is not such thing as a "third party" partial or full domain
name, if a blogger or any other person that has an internet resource
(such as a blog site, etc) named under a particular domain name,
he/she can join regardless of who "owns" the domain.

Adding more language to the first criteria as you proposed makes it
more complex since as I mentioned above there is not such definition
of a "partial domain name".

Each of the listed criteria for eligibility are not mutually
exclusive, (i) is very clear, do you own a domain name that is being
used not for a commercial enterprise ? Yes -> you are eligible to join
NCSG, No -> move to (ii), are you an Internet user (hard to say no if
you are reading this) concerned with non-commercial yada-yada and no
other group in ICANN's GNSO is representing you ?

Now (iii), is actually a way to accept people that may have doubts to
join because they work at or belong to a particular organization and
they don't want or are interested to be seen as representing such
organization, or they may not have the power or will to have the
organization join as such, or the organization is not actually
interested to join. They will still be accepted to join as an
*individual* without any association with the organization he/she
belongs to or works for.

I think that this criteria is not even necessary, but it's just
something to have Xyz from ABC.ORG or GourmetChef.EDU (this one is for
you Milton :-) feel more comfortable to join without having to ask
ABC.ORG or GourmetChef School for permission or feel obligated to
represent them.
