Funny you should mention this. The issue has been raised at the last ALAC executive meeting call about meeting with non-domain-industry components of the GNSO. In Singapore there was a surprising (to me) amount of shared goals found in a meeting with the Business Constituency. We are explicitly working on doing more with the NCSG, but nothing final yet. Note: Our partnerships sometime appear to be quite ... dynamic. There is significant concern within the NCUC (some of it expressed directly to me in a "how could you *betray* us!?!" conversation during a San Francisco taxi ride) regarding our new-found common ground with the GAC. I hope the new blood indicated by Beau may mitigate this challenge. - Evan
