Non-commercial TLDs

 Non-Commercial Constituency Resolution
Yokohama - July 13, 2000

The NCC resolves that chartered non-commercial TLDs be controlled and
managed by stakeholders with a bona fide connection to the specific
charter.  For example, should the .union, .consumer, or .museum TLD be
adopted, we support that the .union TLD be controlled and managed by
labor unions, .consumer by global consumer organizations, or .museum by
bona fide museum organizations.  With the exception of limited technical
issues that affect Internet navigation and stability, and the selection
of a bona fide global body that will control the registry, ICANN should
not interfere with the management of non-commercial, chartered TLDs.
