Dear All:

Please see the attached application for a candidate constituency in 
NCSG, the proposed "Public Internet Access / Cybercafe Ecosystem 
Constituency".   NCSG must evaluate and make a recommendation to the 
ICANN Board of Director regarding the acceptance of this application 
by early January.  Also a public comment period has opened the 
application.

Therefore, for processing this application, we will set up an NCSG 
working group to look into it in detail and make recommendations to 
the NCSG Executive Committee in time to meet our response deadline to 
the ICANN Board in early January.   This NCSG working group will be 
comprised of any interested NCSG members and particularly the NCSG- EC.  Please let me know in the next week if you would like to be 
included on this NCSG working group to evaluate this application and 
make a recommendation on it.

Thanks,
Robin

Subject: Application For New GNSO Constituency in The NCSG -- PIA-CC

Dear Robin:

The purpose of this letter is to inform you, as Chair of the NCSG, 
that ICANN Staff has received an Application For Candidacy (AFC) 
form to establish a proposed Public Internet Access/Cybercafé 
Ecosystem Constituency (PIA/CC) in the GNSO. Submission of the 
application package has initiated the Board-approved GNSO "New 
Constituency Recognition Process" (ref: http://gnso.icann.org/en/ about/form-new-constituency.htm).

I am sending this application package to you (see attached 
documents; cover letter, AFC and supplementary material) because 
the applicant specifically requested placement of the proposed 
Constituency within the NCSG.

According to the process, ICANN Staff has/is taking the following 
actions:

1)   Formally acknowledged the application in an email to the 
Applicant.
2)   Opening a 35-day Public Comment period for community review 
and comment on the PIA/CC application package (cover letter, the 
AFC form and supplementary materials). Within 10 days of the 
expiration of the Public Comment and subsequent 30-day reply 
comment period (mid December), Staff will publish a report of any 
community feedback and forward a copy to all involved parties.

According to the process, the NCSG has 90 days from the date of 
receipt of this email (on or about January 8, 2013) to formulate 
an “Acceptâ€� or “Rejectâ€� decision, along with supporting 
rationale, which will then be submitted to the ICANN Board for its 
review. The GNSO New Constituency web page is here - http:// gnso.icann.org/en/about/form-new-constituency.htm.  Please see the 
actual procedures for information concerning the NCSG's and the 
Board’s obligations and available actions. A flowchart of the 
process is also available for download.

While the publicly-shared copies of the application documents will 
have the personal contact information for the applicant contact 
redacted, the copies of the cover letter and the AFC I have 
attached leave the applicant contact info available ­ to 

> facilitate any potential dialogue or correspondence you might 

choose to initiate.

This represents the first time that the GNSO's New Constituency 
Recognition process has been formally activated, so if you have ANY 
questions about process, roles, responsibilities, or timelines, 
please contact me at your convenience. I am happy to spend some 
time with you in Toronto if you would like to discuss this matter 
while we are there.

Best regards,

Rob Hoggarth
Sr. Director-ICANN Policy Department
