Dear Amber,

Thanks for keeping us informed and for sending this. However, I certainly feel quite confused with the statement and purpose of this new constituency. In your letter, you submit to the suggestion that up until today non-for-profit and non-governmental organisation have been unrepresented in ICANN. "We believe creating a new constituency focused the operational impact of ICANN policies on the service delivery of not-for-profit and non-governmental organizations will be an important addition to the ICANN community."
Personally as a member of NCUC over the past five years, I would like to say that this is not accurate. A quick look at NCUC's membership roster demonstrates that there are many non-for-profit and non-governmental organisations both within and outside the US that have joined NCUC. 
So I would like to clarify that the types of organisations you are suggesting as an important addition to the ICANN community, are already part of that community and have successfully and fairly been represented through the NCUC.

Thanks

KK

Dear Amber
 
In your letter your write: "As one of its major initiatives, the NPOC has placed a priority on ongoing global outreach activities, especially to communities and regions currently under-represented in ICANN. We are pleased that several organizations have already indicated an interest in the NPOC during this pendency period; however, many more are waiting for the NPOC to be officially recognized before joining."
 
Would it be possible to provide a list of such waiting organisations? And would it be also possible to specifiy your outreach  activities in currently under-represented regions. I am in particular interested what you have done in Eastern Europa, Central Asia and Eastern and Western Africa. 
 
Thanks
