Re: [council] Regarding individual users

I note that individual commercial Internet users also are quite

in their interests in domain names - ranging from those that are not
domain name registrants and merely use the Internet for communication
with suppliers, to those that actively maintain a portfolio of second

through advertising.
While I have not seen figures and it would be interesting to see such
figures, I assume a much larger group (at least larger then the
portfolio holder category) of Commercial interest are the Registrants
whose small or single proprietor businesses depend on the outreach,
advertising and information distribution gained through use of heir
web sites.
And while the outreach of the GNSO into the non-registrant user
community has been prescribed, I still think the GNSO needs to make
sure that we care for the interests of all registrants, commercial and
non-commercial, as a special class, as they are dependent on the GNSO
and its council as the only voice they have in order to get a fair
deal from ICANN and its contracted parties. I am hoping we don't
forget these two categories of registrants while making a further
outreach to non-registrant users as these registrants remain
unrepresented for the most part (despite a few individuals who are
represented).
