The Non-Contracted Party House (NCPH) is one of the two major structures making up the GNSO, with the other being the Contracted Party House, which includes registrars and registries.[1] The GNSO is a bicameral structure, with one house made up of those that are directly contracting with ICANN, and the other for those that are not.[2] The NCPH includes members who are internet service providers, businesses, connectivity providers and intellectual property constituencies. The NCPH is composed of the Commercial and Non-Commercial Stakeholders Groups.[3]

From the Commercial Stakeholder Group, six representatives are chosen, with two coming from each of its members' Constituencies.
