According to the NCSG Charter<br>
<<a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/ncsg-charter-05may11-en.pdf" target="_blank">http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/ncsg-charter-05may11-en.pdf</a>>, the<br>
Policy Committee (NCSG-PC) is responsible for<br>
<br>
Discussion and development of substantive policies and<br>
statements issued in the name of the NCSG. This activity<br>
will require coordination with the membership and the<br>
Constituency<br>
<br>
<br>
Sometimes the NCSG-PC members write a statement and check with the<br>
membership on the DISCUSS list before deciding to submit as an NCSG<br>
position.<br>
<br>
Sometimes a member or a constituency writes a statement and asks for it<br>
to be sent in as a NCSG Statement. In this case the NCSG-PC checks with<br>
the membership via the DISCUSS list and then decides whether to send it<br>
in as a NCSG postion<br>
<br>
Sometimes a member writes their own statement and submits it as their<br>
own statement and later asks for the NCSG to endorse it as an NCSG<br>
statement. In that case, again after checking with the membership via<br>
the DISCUSS list, the NCSG-PC decides to submit a note endorsing the<br>
comment submitted by the member as an NCSG statement.<br>
<br>
You do _not_ need the NCSG's endorsement to send a comment in. Ever.<br>
You only need the NCSG process if you want it to be sent as an NCSG<br>
statement.<br>
<br>
I am excited to hear that you wrote and will be submitting a comment.<br>
At this point, given the schedule, I would suggest you send it as your<br>
own statement. And if you would also like NCSG to endorse it as<br>
indicated above, I would recommend you send it to the DISCUSS list<br>
asking for NCSG endorsement.<br>

We are ready to submit by academy's name. Do we need NCSG endorsement? Or if I wrote a comment individual by my own name, then need a NCSG endorsement?<br>
