The NCSG was created after ICANN  found that there was inadequate representation of non-commercial and non-profit organizations within ICANN processes. The provisional charter of the NCSG was adopted by the [[ICANN Board]] on 30 July 2009; at that time it was also stipulated that the NCSG must submit a permanent charter by the 2011 [[Annual Meeting|Annual General Meeting]].<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/NCSG+charter NCSG Transitional Charter]</ref> It has subsumed the [[NCUC|Non-Commercial Users Constituency]], which was the original non-commercial voice in ICANN processes.

With the passage of time, the NCSG has come to be seen as one of the most important and influential stakeholder groups within the ICANN community. It is known for its fierce, evidence-informed advocacy and high levels of bottom-up engagement from its members from around the world.
