Hello Everybody.<br>
<br>
I am glad to welcome in the NCSG list our new organizational and<br>
individual members who were approved by the NCSG EC this month.<br>
<br>
They were successfully added to this mailing list and so able to read this<br>
welcoming and follow the discussions.<br>
<br>
I am happy as NCSG chair, to support new and existing members in order to<br>
let them be fully involved and participate in our policy discussion and for<br>
that I am ready to respond to your questions with the help of other<br>
experienced members and officers. I had mail exchange and even skype calls<br>
for those who asked, so please feel free to contact me if you want more<br>
information or asking for clarifications.<br>
<br>
There are opportunities to learn about policy development : with the<br>
quarterly GNSO Working Group newcomers Webinar, for which the schedule will<br>
be shared in due time. We are also planning a NCSG webinars to discuss or<br></span>
introduce a specific topic, the next will be about* IANA stewardship<br>
transition & ICANN accountability update at 24th April* in preparation for<span><br>
the public comment.<br>

**************************************<br>

You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it to confirm the receipt of<br>
messages that you send to the list. To send yourself a copy of your own<br>
messages, send a SET NCSG-DISCUSS REPRO command.<br>

Alternatively, to have LISTSERV send you a short acknowledgement instead<br>
of the entire message, send a SET NCSG-DISCUSS ACK NOREPRO command.<br>
Finally, you can turn off acknowledgements completely with the SET<br>
NCSG-DISCUSS NOACK NOREPRO command.<br>
