<div class="PlainText">Dear NCSG members,<br>
<br>
ICANN76 is rapidly approaching.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile the NCSG Executive Committee has managed to approve some<br>
new member applications.<br>
<br>
Please accept our apologies for the delay in the approval of the <br>
membership requests, unfortunately we had a long list of duplicated <br>
applications request backlog due to some significant issues with<br>
the membership database software we are using. We are working hard on<br>
permanently resolving the issues, but meanwhile we have taken<br>
temporary measures to resolve the backlog, so expect more new<br>
members soon as the rest of the backlog is cleared.<br>
<br>
I would like to invite you all to help me wish NCSGs incoming members<br>
a warm welcome.<br>
<br>
Here is a list of the new members:<br>
<br>
Individual members:<br>
Annett Bonuke (NCSG + NCUC)<br>
Thomas Hill (NCSG + NCUC)<br>
Frank Anati (NCSG)<br>
Lena Herbst (NCSG + NCUC)<br>
Jessica Dadzie Asare (NCSG + NCUC)<br>
Namra Naseer (NCSG + NCUC)<br>
<br>
Internet Society Nigeria Chapter (NCSG + NPOC)<br>
Jokkolabs Bamako (NCSG)<br>
<br>
As the NCSG Chair, I am happy to provide any necessary help for our new<br>
members to become fully engaged with our Stakeholder Group and<br>
facilitate their onboarding into our community - and you will find many<br>
members willing to do the same.<br>
<br>
Tomslin Samme-Nlar is the Chair of the NCSG Policy Committee, and he<br>
will be sharing updates on public comments, calls for different<br>
positions across the ICANN community and other policy-related matters.<br>
<br>

Community or ask any questions!<br>
