Hi Debbie Thanks for the feedback! Are there any areas or specific sections that you think NPOC might support? If so we can perhaps indicate which parts are NCSG wide concerns and which others are supported by NCUC, especially since the document uses (I think) language along the lines of strong support rather than consensus.

I have not had the opportunity to discuss with my NPOC colleagues, but after my review this morning, I think it would be best if this was submitted as a NCUC statement, or perhaps a joint statement between NCUC and the proposed Consumer Const, if they approve. I think it is important for this viewpoint to be shared, even if I and my NPOC colleagues do not support the conclusions and content. I would ask that you clearly state the statement does not represent those of the members of the Proposed Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency. From the perspective of a non-profit organization that needs effective and efficient and reasonable means to execute and protect its philanthropic, capacity-building and humanitarian activities online (underscored by nefarious activity occurring now related to the disaster in Japan and the pacific area) I have serious concerns supporting the positions taken related to Section 6, among other areas - although I acknowledge the difference in perspectives.

Please discuss the wording, and in so far as we have consensus or rough consensus on wording changes, I will make changes. The views in this have been generated from previous positions NCSG has taken in statements and elsewhere. The original ratings were done with the help of Konstantinos and Robin. They have been reviewed by Mary. a.
