Dear Members of the NCUC,

thanks and greetings to all, and especially to the members in the Asia 
Pacific region, to whom I send this note together with the request to 
consider how we can work towards an increase in membership in our 
region. Not just in numbers, but committed membership reflecting, 
arguing, and advocating for the space of NCUC - the Non Commercial Users 
Constituency - in ICANN. Our Asia Pacific region is experiencing 
enormous growth in terms of the use of the Internet and the use of 
mobile phones. But this physical growth is mainly measured in economic 
and technical terms, while tensions and conflicts between operators - 
commercials and including the states - and non-commercial users who 
enjoy the openness of communication beyond what we could imagine only 
some years ago, need careful but intensive attention. I think our 
Constituency should play more of a role on the way into future developments.

Of course, sharing also among the different regions of the world is not 
only welcome, but necesary.

With my best greetings, while I share, this time, also some references 
in my personal blog, about some concerns in our specific environment.
