The main purpose of the NCSG is to represent the views and interests of those who engage in non-commercial activities on the Internet. It was created after ICANN had found that there was not adequate representation of non-commercial and non-profit organizations within ICANN processes.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/ncsg_approved_charter NCSG Approved Charter]</ref> The provisional charter of the NCSG was adopted by the [[ICANN Board]] on July 30, 2009; at that time it was also stipulated that the NCSG must submit a permanent charter by the 2011 [[Annual Meeting]].<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/NCSG+charter NCSG Transitional Charter]</ref>

The group is the larger umbrella organization of multiple constituencies and interest groups, such as the [[NCUC|Non-Commercial Users Constituency]].<ref>[http://gnso.icann.org/non-commercial/ GNSO NCSG Page]</ref> The stakeholder group was part of a major [[GNSO]] restructuring effort, the creation of 4 new [[Stakeholder Group]]s was approved by the [[ICANN Board]] in August, 2008. The groups were intended to be broad organizations to better create internal balance between new constituencies; in this way, the number of consituencies can be in constant flux while the broad, general concerns are still being tended to and represented via the Stakeholder Groups.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Non-Commercial+Stakeholder+Group+Commons Community.ICANN.org]</ref>
