	Whatever we call them, organisations like INTUG (that 
Rosemary was formerly Chair of) I think would be very valuable within 
ICANN, have a very valid role to play, and clearly are in support of 
the consumer agenda theough they represent mostly business users of 
telecomms not individuals. I fully support such organisations being 
represented within ICANN.
	But as commercial users, while they have more in common in 
attitude with NCSG, they technically belong in CSG. Hence we have a 
problem - how is NCSG to support such organisation without admitting 
them as members?
	I think working to a constructive solution to this issue 
would be more valuable than either ignoring the issue or moving ahead 
with a constituency strategy that doesn't take into acocunt some 
really valuable organisations.
