Welcoming new members to Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group

Sat Sep 9 05:33:34 EEST 2017

Hi, all-

Welcome to our community! It is great to have you with us, and great to see some crossover from the GAC to the GNSO 😉. Feel free to introduce yourself on this list so that we can get to know you better — what brings you to the NCSG, what are your interests in relation to DNS policy, what are you good at?

If you happen to be interested in privacy and data protection, there is one working group at the moment which is a good entry point into the community's work. [Some more information is here.](https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=NCSG-DISCUSS;ea881bf5.1708)

Again, great to have you here. Welcome!
