Welcome to our new NCSG members!

Wed Mar 20 02:29:17 EET 2019

Welcome to the new people. May you work hard and prosper in ICANN. It is
challenging and takes time to grasp. One thing I have learnt about my
presence in ICANN spaces as an observer is that observing does not
really work. In ICANN it only really begins to make sense when one joins
an actual work process.

This comes with risks.. one can make mistakes, receive criticism, but
generally even if the work one does, or one's goals are not broadly
supported, doing the work is recognised and respected by others from all
stakeholder groups.

Being on NomCom is the first time I am part of longer term collaborative
work process in ICANN. It has also allowed me to attend enough meetings
in a row to get a sense of how the policy development processes (PDPs)
work.

So my advice, choose an area to focus on. Work hard (read, read, ask
questions continuously, comment, respect the work of others, do
submissions, assume leadership roles etc.). Be brave. Endure the ups and
downs, the praise and the challenges. In the end you will learn a lot,
and also have the opportunity to shape a process, decisions, or a set of
rules that  will be applied in practice. This can be very rewarding.
