FORMATION OF THE CONSTITUENCY OF
NON-COMMERCIAL DOMAIN NAME HOLDERS OF
THE ICANN DOMAIN NAME SUPPORT
ORGANIZATION

The Internet Society and the other interested non-commercial organizations
named below propose the formation of the constituency of non-commercial
domain name holders of the ICANN Domain Name Supporting Organization
(DNSO).

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
announced
on April 2, 1999 that it had adopted the bylaw changes designed to
establish the basic framework for the creation of the three Supporting
Organizations called for in the bylaws (including specific provisions
establishing a DNSO).

The FAQ's posted by ICANN staff have urged the formation of the
constituencies of the DNSO prior to the scheduled meeting of the ICANN
Board of Directors in Berlin on May 25-27, 1999, so that the Board can act
on recognition of the initial constituencies.

The draft bylaws provide that each constituency shall self-organize, and
shall determine its own criteria for participation. The FAQ's also
indicate that the ICANN Board is expected to recognize the Names Council
and General Assembly of the DNSO at the Berlin meeting. The DNSO will be
able to begin operation with whatever constituencies have been formed and
recognized, and will have selected representatives to the Names Council by
that time.

In order to facilitate organization and establishment of the constituency
of non-commercial domain name holders, the Internet Society and the
undersigned organizations will be actively seeking the involvement of
other organizations in this endeavor. Interested organizations are
encouraged to contact ISOC or any of the undersigned. Given the fast
approaching dates mentioned above, we would like to start organizational
discussions within the next two weeks.

Thank you ,
