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.
