The NCSG Executive Committee has approved several new members' applications and I would like to welcome the new members. They were successfully added to this mailing list and so they are able to read this welcoming message and follow the discussions. Other
announcements related to the NCSG election will be shared soon.<br>
<br>
I would like to invite you all to wish NCSGs incoming members a warm welcome and prove how much NCSG is an open and welcoming community:<br>

As the NCSG chair, I am happy to provide help and assist our new members to become involved and active participants in our stakeholder group and in ICANN in general. They can also count on other members for onboarding and support. Please feel free to reach
me off-list if you have any questions or you want to have a chat for more clarification.<br>
<br>
Tomslin Samme-Nlar is the Chair of the NCSG Policy Committee, and he will be sharing updates on public comments and opportunities to participate in working groups and policy discussions.<br>
<br>
We held our discussion in this mailing list. In addition to that, we have our monthly Policy call and sometimes webinars on specific issues, details will be shared in the mailing list. We also have several sessions during ICANN meetings and everyone can join
remotely. You will also see we have several public consultations to respond to and volunteers drafting comments on behalf of NCSG. We will have the ICANN meeting in a few days in Prague and everyone should be able to attend remotely. We will share details
asap.<br>
<br>
Feel free to reply to this thread and present yourself to other members and ask any questions.<br>
