<br>
</div>
<p class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
Thank you sincerely for the warm welcome.</p>
<p class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
I am truly pleased to join the NCSG community and to collaborate with such a diverse and committed group in advancing the interests of non-commercial users within ICANN and the broader internet governance landscape. It is a pleasure to introduce myself to the
NCSG community. I am Sadichchha Silwal, a licensed advocate from Nepal working at the intersection of law, technology, and human rights. I was one of nextgen@ICANN84. I serve as the board member and chapter leader of ISOC Nepal chapter and am actively engaged
in internet governance processes at national and regional levels. </p>
<p class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
My work focuses on online freedom of expression and association, privacy and data protection, cybersecurity law and policy, and accountable digital governance. I am involved in policy advocacy, regulatory analysis, capacity building, and multi-stakeholder coordination
to strengthen public-interest safeguards in digital policy frameworks.</p>
<p class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
I am particularly interested in how privacy and safety considerations within domain name policy intersect with digital rights and inclusive participation from the Global South. I look forward to contributing constructively to ongoing policy discussions within
NCSG. </p>
<p class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
Best, </p>

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>
The chair of the NCSG Policy Committee will be sharing updates on public comments and opportunities to participate in working groups and policy discussions. As usual, we have several drafts in progress that will be shared for review and input.<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. <br>
<br>
Feel free to reply to this thread and present yourself to other members and ask any questions.<br>
