[EC-NCSG] The 3 orgs who were ineligible for membership based on NCSG applications submitted

[Robin Gross]

Dear EC Committee:

In further follow-up from our teleconference yesterday, I have contacted the following 3 organizations and informed them they were determined to be ineligible for membership in NCSG, based on the applications supplied.

1.  Kaswesha Community Resource Center
Reason provided for non-approval: Not the exclusive user of at least one domain name (a requirement for eligibility under NCSG Charter Section 2.2.1).
They were invited to re-apply when they have a noncommercial domain name.

2.  Civil Society Movement Against Tuberculosis in Sierre Leone (CISMAT-SL)
Reason provided for non-approval: Not the exclusive user of at least one domain name (a requirement for eligibility under NCSG Charter Section 2.2.1).
They were invited to re-apply when they have a noncommercial domain name.

3.  US Olympic Committee:
Reason provided for non-approval: USOC is substantially a major sports licensing business and NCSG is devoted to the protection of noncommercial interests.
They were invited to join ICANN's Intellectual Property Constituency as the more appropriate place to protect their interests.
