Hi Roberto

I believe an application has already been received for a Non-commercial
constituency.  See:
http://gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/en/improvements/consumers-constituency-noif
-28feb09.pdf

In looking at various applications published around about April 09, I cannot
see any results .   Can anyone tell me whether any applications have been
successful and if so direct me to a link on the ICANN web site?

Many thanks

Debbie
