Dear Bill, thank you for bringing this up. On 19/12/2012 18:04, William Drake wrote:
It's not obvious to me why their non-profit status matters. From an ICANN standpoint, they are applicants to operate a gTLD, that's why they're here.
This is a good one to chew on, might be worth taking the discussion to a broader level…
This certainly is not solely a "EURALO thing". For example, we have recently had the green light from NARALO to certify the .NYC community. Would this mean that all "community" applications for a new gTLD from community applicants would pass the Litmus test for At-Large Structures? Frankly I do not know. What I do note, though, is that At-Large can consist of non-commercial, but also commercial organisations -- as long as they have end-users as primary members. I wonder whether any of my predecessors have done any digging to exactly define this? Kind regards, Olivier -- Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond, PhD http://www.gih.com/ocl.html
