<br>
Thank you very much for the warm welcome. I am honored to be among the <br>
new members approved to join the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group.<br>
<br>
I truly appreciate the committee for finding me fit to be part of this <br>
organization. I have great respect for the NCSG's role within the ICANN <br>
ecosystem and I am eager to contribute to our discussions regarding <br>
internet governance and policy development.<br>
<br>
Thank you again for the opportunity to contribute to the group's <br>
mission.<br>
