'''NOIF''' is the abbreviation for '''Notice of Intent'''. The NOIF is basically a form which needs to be submitted by an applicant who wishes to form a new [[GNSO]] constituency. The NOIF is not at all a substitute for or any kind of replacement of formal petition requirements as stipulated under the bylaws of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ([[ICANN]]). It is also not any kind of receipt or acknowledgment or acceptance.
