# '''Nondiscriminatory and impartial application of rules:''' The NCSG is open and represents all non-commercial stakeholders; as such, no non-commercial organization or individual will be denied membership. All non-commercial organization and individual applicants for membership in the NCSG are given equal opportunities to excel and to contribute if they meet the membership eligibility criteria and act in accordance with our standards of member behavior. There will be no discrimination on the basis of religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, or other characteristic.
# '''Transparency:''' Information on the proceedings of NCSG meetings is available to all NCSG members through the open and archived mailing lists and through other online communication channels. The schedules of various meetings is always announced well in advance.
# '''Behavor standards for elected officers:''' Every NCSG officer, including the Chair, must act in an impartial and accountable manner, and avoid conflicts of interest. NCSG officers must be fair, trustworthy and responsible custodians of the NCSG’s activities.
# '''Standards of member behavior:''' All NCSG members should behave according to the ICANN Bylaws and Expected Standards of Behavior, which supports the consensus model of treating everyone with dignity, respect and courtesy; listening and understanding others effectively; and acting with honesty and sincerity.
