Subject: Draft Proposal to Transition NTIA's Stewardship of the IANA Functions

Dear all,

NPOC Policy Committee members have agreed on the following :

NPOC support the general purpose of the document "Draft Proposal, Based on Initial Community Feedback, of the Principles and Mechanisms and the Process to Develop a Proposal to Transition NTIA's Stewardship of the IANA Functions" as published in googledocs.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Oe-kqA-5WXGavAy40XEHVzKltNAQrjiuuZ-FH5jJqw/edit

NPOC PC members would like to ask the following modification in the first paragraph, last 2 sentences :
"The NCUC consists of 346 civil society members from 81 different countries, including 94 organizations and 252 individuals.  The NPOC represents 47 non profit organizations from 20 different countries."

been modified as follows :

"The NCUC and NPOC, both constituencies under the "NCSG umbrella", consists of civil society members from 81 different countries, including organizations and individuals."

Motivation for the changes :

Based on the information that is officially available on the NCSG community website NCSG has only 201 active members in total (individuals and org's).
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmHFgvYjF_e4dGIycFJVenFSak9ZWDdRdXVlNXdBV2c&usp=sharing> (25 September 2013)
We consider the numbers being less important in the context of the proposed document. One organisation (NGO) can easily represent thousands of users, thus decreasing the relevance of the given figures.

Kind regards,

Rudi Vansnick
NPOC chair Policy Committee
NPOC treasurer
