'''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.

The NOIF is not a substitute for the formal petition requirements as stipulated under [[ICANN]]'s bylaws. It is also not any kind of receipt or acknowledgment or acceptance. The main purpose of the NOIF is to notify the ICANN Board as well as the public and the community at large about the intention of the applicant to form a new GNSO constituency. The NOIF is provided not only to the Board but is also sent to the GNSO Council and its constituencies. This usually happens through the process of public posting.<ref>[http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/piacc-constituency-noif-redacted-02mar10-en.pdf gnso.icann.org]</ref>

The ICANN Board, in a meeting held on October 1, 2008, hailed its staff for coming up with the idea of the NOIF and also directed its staff to come up with a charter template and formal petition that would assist the new constituency applicants as well as satisfy the formation criteria in accordance with the ICANN Bylaws.<ref>[http://www.domainpulse.com/2010/01/23/icann-community-comment-invited-on-revised-proposal-to-form-a-new-gnso-consumers-constituency/ domainpulse.com]</ref>
