Hi Amber,

Thanks for compiling the questions (see below).

Hi All,

I am compiling a list of questions posed regarding the NPOC charter and
will respond later today... the issue about whether or not the NPOC
would include "various national Chamber of Commerce or the International
Chamber of Commerce" is a non-starter.  The proposed NPOC would be a
constituency within the NCSG and therefore must meet NCSG membership
requirements.


I'm glad the applicants for the proposed constituency recognizes the membership criteria for the NCSG.  

However, if this is the case, then why would the proposed constituency even need to bother with using the confusing "not-for-profit" label?   Wouldn't it be more clear to identify, as others have suggested, as a proposed "member or philanthropic service delivery" constituency?

Another question: If the "not-for-profit" membership requirement is maintained, given its various meanings across juridictions, how do the applicants propose to provide due diligence on membership applications?

Regards,

Brenden Kuerbis



Kind regards,
Amber

The way it is phrased now, yes, sure.
