Hello Paul and everyone,

The list of INGOs is that of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and the GNSO PDP recommendation was to use the ECOSOC list. As such, it is not up to ICANN to make changes to that list; additions, modifications and deletions are determined under the applicable UN rules for organizations obtaining or maintaining recognition (e.g. general or consultative status) with ECOSOC. The staff understanding is that any updates needing to be made to the ICANN list as a result of changes to the ECOSOC list will be handled through the UN’s Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA).

Cheers

Mary

A cursory look shows names like

gong
karp
mosaic
rare
restored
witness

Gong is an acronym for Gradani organizirano nadgledaju glasan

Karp is an acronym for The Korean Association of Retired Persons

Moisaic is a branding for More Mosaic NGO & Mosaic International NGO

Including rare, restored & witness doesn't sit well with the principal of coexistence.

Best regards,

Paul.
