> Dear Glen,
> 
> Below is NPOC proposal under comments from our members. We would ask you to 
> forward to the Board. As we do not have a seat at the GNSO Council, we do not 
> have another way to inform the board about NPOC`s view.
> 
> Context: Given the tension here on the IOC and Red Cross exemption (some of 
> us call it protection) and the Drafting Committee Chair report to GNSO this 
> morning - we find it wise, for the benefit of our current and future NPOC 
> members, as well as the ICANN Community at large, that NPOC promotes and 
> supports a) the proposal from the WG and b), in a broader manner, the generic 
> extension of this protection based on avoiding the setting of a precedent, 
> and based on objective and independantly verifiable criteria to define who or 
> who does not qualify:
> 
> Proposition:
> Would receive new gTLD protection: "Any organization operating globally in 
> the public interest and enjoying International Legal Personality in the 
> country where its Headquarters are located, and its members."

> Best, Alain
