==Background==

~~The~~ [[ICANN Board]] made recommendations on how to improve the operations and structure of the GNSO. One of its recommendations was the development of new GNSO constituencies in accordance with Article X, Section 5(4) of the [[ICANN Bylaws]]. As there were no specific guidelines stipulated in the ICANN Bylaws on how the community could file a petition for a new constituency, the ICANN Staff helped the ICANN community in formulating procedures in accordance with principles within the Bylaws, as directed by the ICANN Board. On October 2008, two procedures were formulated and adopted by the Internet community: the submission of a Notice of Intent (NOIF) to Form a New GNSO Constituency and a formal Petition/Charter. NPOC submitted its NOIF on June 15, 2010, followed by its Petition/Charter on November 2, 2010, which was subsequently revised on December 7, 2010.<ref>[http://forum.icann.org/lists/npoc-petition-charter/msg00017.html Staff Summary and Analysis of Comments - NPOC]</ref>
