I am officially taking over as NCSG chair, starting my first term, and wanted to share some initial points.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>I would like to thank first the previous leadership, Julf and also our former councillors, Stephanie and Wisdom. I also wish good luck to the new councillors, Julf, Farzaneh and returning Bruna.</div><br><div>I could have discussions and calls in previous months with Julf to prepare for the handover and clarify about the backlog of tasks and priorities, ensuring continuity and smooth transition.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">My basic goal and principle will be to continue the ongoing activities and build upon what was done by predecessors and then work on the next activities and prepare for those who will take over later. I am also identifying what we have as challenges and what is coming up as urgent issues for NCSG, something that never ends.</div><br><div>The roadmap or plan is quite straight forward, between near and long term actions. We have already to work on planning for the next ICANN meeting, follow up on action items from the Istanbul meeting such as the cooperation with our counterpart the CSG but in more general preparing for policy priority topics for NCSG and other matters like the holistic review where we need to focus our efforts and attentions.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> I will work with the NCSG executive committee and collaborate with the Policy committee on those different matters. It will also be the same with the leadership of our constituencies NCUC and NPOC.</div><br><div>I commit to keep you all informed about NCSG activities under my preview and consult on matters requiring that. I will try to share digestible report with enough background and explanations. </div><br><div>Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any question, concern or inquiry.</div><br><div>Best Regards,</div><br><div>Rafik</div><br></div>
