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.

The full details and schedule of Council activities can be found here :  https://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/calendar.  Watch for announcements of policy and working group webinars on this list, they are targeted to help bring us all up to date with what is happening in different groups and topic areas.  ICANN has started a new Webinar week prior to our public meetings, and new members might find this information to be concise and useful.
