At [[ICANN 43]], the NCSG met with the [[NPOC|Non-Profit Operations Constituency]] and later issued a joint-statement in which they declared that some of their previous outstanding contentions had been resolved and that the two groups were looking forward to fruitful engagement in the future. They wrote that, "Initial positive steps were made in order to begin to build trust between the two NCSG constituencies and we are all committed in working together for the promotion of non-commercial interests in the Internet. We believe we can work out our differences and our governance issues internally."<ref>[https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind1203&L=NCSG-DISCUSS&F=&S=&X=72A0BB47502C777E7E&Y=mueller%40syr.edu&P=68905 Listserv.syr.edu]</ref>

===Mission&Principles===
The purpose of the Non Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) is to represent, through its elected representatives and its Constituencies, the interests and concerns of noncommercial registrants and noncommercial Internet users of generic Top-level Domains (gTLDs). It provides a voice and representation in ICANN processes to: non-profit organizations that serve noncommercial interests; nonprofit services such as education, philanthropies, consumer protection, community organizing, promotion of the arts, public interest policy advocacy, children's welfare, religion, scientific research, and human rights; public interest software concerns; families or individuals who register domain names for noncommercial personal use; and Internet users who are primarily concerned with the noncommercial, public interest aspects of domain name policy

The group is the larger umbrella organization of multiple constituencies and interest groups, such as the [[NCUC|Non-Commercial Users Constituency]] (NCUC).<ref>[http://gnso.icann.org/non-commercial/ GNSO NCSG Page]</ref> The NCSG was the result of a major [[GNSO]] restructuring effort, involving the creation of 4 new [[SG|Stakeholder Groups]] 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 important, 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>
