At the Paris meeting (Jun 2008), the NCUC decided to open up nonvoting membership to individuals. If you have registered domain names for personal, family or noncommercial use; if you are an Internet user who is primarily concerned with the public interest aspects of domain name policy, and is not represented in ICANN; or you are employed by or a member of a large noncommercial organizations (universities, colleges, large NGOs) and it is too complicated or lack the standing to join on an organizational basis, you can participate as an individual.
