At [[ICANN 43]], the NPOC met with the [[NCSG|Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group]] (NCSG) 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."

''The LAC NGO Caucus on Internet Governance brings together NGOs, Civil Society and other Internet governance stakeholder groups in order to raise awareness and organizational capacity on the Internet related issues they face. The goal of the meeting is to engage in strategic Internet planning and to promote organizational voices in areas of Internet policy formation and implementation relevant to their work and their mission. The NGO Caucus engages with all sectors and does not limit itself to Civil Society as today’s Internet stakeholders have to rely for their growth and development on the co-operation and partnership with a multitude of other highly diverse organizations and sectors. The NGO Caucus is designed to produce win-win policies and practice outcomes.''
