ICANN is a not-for-profit which was formed in 1998 to coordinate IP addresses worldwide. It is dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. GNSO is the main policy-making body of ICANN and comprises of four main groups: registries (companies running generic top-level domains (gTLDs) such as VeriSign for dot-com or Afilias for dot-info); registrars (companies that sell registrations of particular domains e.g. icann.org); business constituency; and NCUC. The latter is the home for civil society organizations and individuals within ICANN. NCUC consists of 175 members from 75 countries consisting of 80 organisations and 95 individuals. With voting power in ICANN policy making and Board selection, it develops and supports positions that favor noncommercial communication and activity on the Internet. At present a new body is being formed in ICANN called NCSG, within the near future NCUC will become incorporated into this new body.
