APPLICATION AND INFORMATION FORM FOR PARTICIPATION IN NON-COMMERCIAL DOMAIN
NAME HOLDERS CONSTITUENCY
Draft June 30, 1999
BACKGROUND:
The Non-Commercial Domain Name Holders Constituency has a special place in
the DNSO. The NCDNHC is intended to be independent of commercial interests.
Its members will be those organizations whose uses and applications of the
Internet are primarily non-commercial. Its purpose is to support
non-commercial speech and activity on the Internet, to protect the rights
of non-commercial domain name holders, and to forge together the interests
of non-commercial domain name holders. NCDNHC must provide the voice and
representation for organizations that serve non-commercial interests and
provide services such as community organizing, promotion of the arts,
children's welfare, religion, education, scientific research, human rights
and the advancement of the Internet as a global communications system
available to all segments of society. The interests of such organizations
are not necessarily represented by the other constituencies of the DNSO and
deserve to be represented in the NCDNHC.
