<div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto"><div>Hi Tomslin,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>Thanks for the email.</div><div>The main goal is to go from being reactive to being more strategical and planning ahead. In terms of policy topics, we can see what is coming based on the GNSO ADR but there are also non policy topics like holistic review or activities and open consultation initiated by ICANN org and board. There are other places where we can identify the topics such as ICANN strategic and operating plans for FY25-30, public comments schedule and any communications from ICANN org. </div><div><br></div><div>We need as a group to identify what are the top priority topics for us, to have members who can lead it, track it, inform us and be able to intervene when needed. Knowing what are our priority topic means we can focus more effectively, know where to spend our efforts effectively and more importantly what is aligned with our goals and principles.</div><div>It will also help to plan ahead such as having related webinars, initiating discussion threads, setting meeting agenda with those topics etc. It will be a big change for us on how to operate and we need everyone's support and involvement on the matter. It will also give more visibility and help members to follow discussion more easily and will give more structure.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Rafik</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div dir="auto"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 10, 2024, 09:58 Tomslin Samme-Nlar <<a href="mailto:mesumbeslin@gmail.com" target="_blank">mesumbeslin@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi members,</div><div><br></div><div>For the upcoming policy year, we would like to have some level of planning and strategy on potential topics of interest to NCSG, with the hope that this would lead to NCSG being more proactive in policy discussions than we are today. I acknowledge that we are fuelled by volunteer sweat and blood,
so time resources are very limited. It is therefore not possible to work on every topic. <br></div><div>As a result, I would like to ask members to nominate topics they see us prioritising for the coming year.
