<p>Dear Caleb and all NCSG Members,</p>
<p>My heart is full with the many messages I received from you.
Caleb and I were both seated on the ISOC Board (Caleb) and PIR
Board (me) over the weekend - and finished ICANN77 with even more
days of intensive meetings :-). <br>
</p>
<p>These are exciting days with much work to do. I sometimes feel
that our work for a free and open Internet is a very hard road.
Then I attend an ICANN meeting, and realize when we work together,
the road is smoother. Together - NCSG, NCUC and NPOC - are
committed to protect noncommercial expression online, and to
create fair and balanced policies on the Internet for commercial
and noncommercial activity alike. As Caleb writes, we seek
transparency, accessibility and inclusion. <br>
</p>
<p>Great thanks to the organizers and leaders of tremendous sessions
at ICANN77 - the NCSC Policy session, the NPOC/NCUC meeting, and
NCUC Issues Forum kicking off our 20th Anniversary. Huge thanks to
Julf, Tomslin, Caleb, Benjamin, Farzi, Milton, our NCSG
Councilors, and everyone who organized and participated in these
sessions!</p>
<p>Please post the summary of a session that was meaningful to you
at ICANN77 - and please share a policy issue you would like to
work on. <br>
</p>
<p>For, as Caleb noted, we are looking for impactful contributions.
We all have the ability to make them.</p>
<p>Warmest regards,</p>
<p>Kathy<br>
</p>
