Hi,
A warm welcome to our new members from me as well. Along with Stephanie, Marilia, Ed, Avri and David, I am one of those elected to represent the NCSG on the GNSO council. Please feel free to contact me privately, or on-list if you have any questions regarding the workings of the GNSO. I will do whatever I can to help. This, of course, goes for everyone; not just our new members. :)
For now, I suggest that you familiarise yourselves with the NCSG charter It does a good job of explaining how things are done here.
Thanks.
Amr
