I have gone through the NCSG charter and it is clear in terms of what need to transpire, I have also started investigating budget requests and the 2018FY ICANN Operational plan and budget to understand the financial situation of NCSG and opportunities for raising funds. Should it be a challenge for Sam to take lead, then I do not mind helping out but will need to obtain support from other FC observers, members and representatives in order to fulfill duties assigned to the NCSG FC according to the charter, thanks.<br><br></div>Thato Mfikwe.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 11, 2018 at 1:30 AM, farzaneh badii <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:farzaneh.badii@gmail.com" target="_blank">farzaneh.badii@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Dear all,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Welcome to the new FC Committee member, Thato.
