Re: [nc-org] Dot Org in 4 layers

Elisabeth:

It is very useful to utilize the layer concept
in discussing the proposals. It helps us to 
distinguish between different types of issues.

For example, I think we are agreed that in Layer
1 we are looking for a non-profit organization
to propose what you call a "charter" and what
the original report calls for a "definition of
the served community." We also agree I think that
the organization should be representative and 
supportive of noncommercial Internet registrants. 

However, I am not sure what you mean by this:

First, the U,U, model does not "give a huge part
to registration policy matters." (If I am
understanding your meaning correctly.) In U,U 
there are no restrictions on eligibility to
register; the charter simply tells the operator
who to focus its marketing on. Au contraire, it
is the S,R model that puts a major emphasis on
registration policy matters.

Perhaps I do not understand what you are saying.
