DNRC has represented the voices of small businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals at the U.S. State Department, before the Department of Commerce, in Geneva at the World Intellectual Property Organization, at the White House, and before congressional committees. Those two include the Non Commercial Domain Name Constituency, and the Individual Domain Name Owners Constituency.
Many individuals are also intellectual property holders in their own right.
It is also of significant note that the General Assembly has not yet been formed, and neither has the mechanism for a membership structure. It is also important to note that of all of the members of the Intellectual Property Constituency, only one is a public interest group. Further, the DNRC had no prior notice of its inclusion as a compromise member of the IPC until the Berlin meeting itself, and was not even asked whether or not it wished to be included. Thus, the DNRC is not a part of the consensus mentioned in the IPCUs testimony. It should also be noted that individual members of many of the noted associations and industry groups were never asked about the claimed consensus, including the American Bar AssociationUs Intellectual Property Section, or the International Trademark Association.
