The '''Not-for-Profit | The '''Not-for-Profit Organizations Constituency''' ('''NPOC''') is a constituency within the [[GNSO|Generic Names Supporting Organization]]'s Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group ([[NCSG]]) and represents the interests of domain name registrants who belong to non-profit and non-government organizations (NGO's - Civil Society). | ||
NPOC participates in ICANN community discussions on policy issues related to the Internet and [[Domain Name System]] (DNS), as such issues have a significant impact on the operations of these organizations and their delivery of services that are beneficial to various communities. NPOC was approved by the [[ICANN Board]] on June 24, 2011.<ref>[http://www.npoc.org/ NPOC Website]</ref> [[Amber Sterling]] served as Interim Chairman until April 2012 when elections results for the period 2012-2013 were announced.

A list of 2017-2018 elected NPOC Executive Committee members is available '''[http://www.npoc.org/governance/current-leadership/ here]'''. | |||
At [[ICANN 43]], the NPOC met with the [[NCSG|Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group]] (NCSG) and later issued a joint-statement in which they declared that some of their previous outstanding contentions had been resolved and that the two groups were looking forward to fruitful engagement in the future. They wrote that, "Initial positive steps were made in order to begin to build trust between the two NCSG constituencies and we are all committed in working together for the promotion of non-commercial interests in the Internet. We believe we can work out our differences and our governance issues internally." | |||
In June 2023, the ICANN Board approved the amended Charter for NPOC. One of the main changes is the name to '''Not-for-Profit Organizations Constituency''' and other administrative issues. | |||
