So I have just sent you an email with three documents attached as promised. I also included most of the NCUC executive committee on the email because at the end of the day it is their decision and their job. Plus, under the NCUC bylaws, it is the regional representatives' responsibility to increase membership and participation so I have sent my ideas and my documents and asked them to decide what , if anything, they want to do with them. Most of that work is NCUC specific - but one part could easily be tweaked and used by other ICANN groups so I reproduce it here in the hope others find it useful. The main point is that people have to be given clear and interesting reasons to join ICANN constituencies. Otherwise, it's just a drag on your free time. ---------- Top Five Reasons to Join the NCUC 1. You are kept up-to-date on all the latest domain name policy issues 2.
