Non-Contracted Party House

The Non-Contracted Party House (NCPH) is one of the two major structures making up the GNSO, with the other being the Contracted Party House, which includes registrars and registries. The GNSO is a bicameral structure, with one house made up of those that are directly contracting with ICANN, and the other for those that are not. The NCPH includes members who are internet service providers, businesses, connectivity providers and intellectual property constituencies. The NCPH is composed of the Commercial and Non-Commercial Stakeholders Groups.
