Just what we all needed on this critical matter...

[log in to unmask]" type="cite">Dear all,

The deadline for submitting public comments on the stakeholder group charters has been extended until THURSDAY 23 July -- 3 days from now.

NCUC will file a statement rejecting the charter proposed by ICANN and insisting that ICANN live up to its obligation to support bottom-up processes by respecting the work that civil society did in drafting the charter that ICANN entirely discarded.

Individual members should also send a comment to remind ICANN to listen to noncommercial users about how the model ICANN is trying to impose will stranglehold us and keep us ineffective in the GNSO.

Please send an email before the deadline to [log in to unmask] to comment on the charters.

Thank you very much!!  I hope you can find a couple minutes to weigh in on this very important issue that will impact how effective noncommercial users can be on any policy issue at ICANN in the future.

Best,
Robin
