<div class="gmail_quote" style="direction: ltr;">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 Farzaneh Badii 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, next meeting will be in Bali. 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>
