New members welcome in RDS working group

[Arsène Tungali]

Hi David,

Thanks for informing us that you represent us on the leadership of that WG. I believe this is something we want to hear regularly from all the people who represent us somewhere. We cannot all join all the WGs but if we have our members heavily involved there to update us on what's going on, that will be helpful.

Thanks Ayden for sharing this as well and for inviting our members to join. 

Sometimes we (mostly newcommers) may feel overwhelmed by everything happening (at the same time) at ICANN. But short summaries and invitations like these are helpful to know which WG to join or atleast to know what they are currently focusing on.

Thank you everyone!

Arsene

>> 
>> This working group is looking at the rules for the collection of domain name registration data. Today this data includes the name, address, phone number, and email address of every registrant. The working group is also looking at the future of its collection, publication, and availability to those with a desire and/or need.

>> This working group meets once a week through the Adobe Connect platform (ICANN staff can arrange a dial out to your phone number if you prefer), but few people participate in every call. It is also okay to contribute ideas on the mailing list or in the weekly polls. The polls only take two minutes to complete but have a huge impact on our work.
>> 
>> I encourage you to join the working group. All it takes is an email to the GNSO Secretariat: gnso-secs at icann.org to indicate your interest in doing so.
>> 
>> There are a number of NCSG members in this working group who would be delighted to answer any questions you might have as someone new to this topic. So, if you're looking for a way to become a little more involved in domain name policy, this could be the right passageway for you to set foot in.
