Hello Everyone,
I am very happy  to welcome our new organizational and individual members who were  approved by the NCSG EC this fall.


They were successfully added to this mailing list and so should be able to read
 this welcoming email, and follow the discussions.

National Paralympic Committee St Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines – Official Rep: Rudi Danie

 




I am happy as the NCSG chair, to support new and existing members in order to assist them in becoming fully involved, and to help them to participate in our policy discussions and contribute to the work
 we do.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or would like advice on where to start.   We have many experienced members and officers who are happy to help.  I have put some in cc for your easy reference, Rafik Dammak the Policy Committee
 Chair, Bruna Santos the NCUC Chair, and Joan Kerr the NPOC Chair.  Feel free to reach out to these folks or our GNSO Councillors, listed here:
https://gnso.icann.org/en/about/stakeholders-constituencies/ncsg.





There are many opportunities to learn about policy development, but a good place to start is our monthly policy call, which usually takes place during the week of the Generic Names Supporting Organization
 (GNSO) Council call.  This month, the Council call will take place on December 19th at 21:00 UTC, and 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 difference groups and topic areas.  Please note the quarterly GNSO Working Group newcomers Webinar, for which
 the schedule will be shared in due time.
Because we are coming up to the Community Forum meeting to be held in Cancun from March 7-12(https://meetings.icann.org/en/cancun67),
 there will be special webinars on topics to be discussed at the meeting.  We will send them to this list as we get them, they are a great way to learn about the issues.





Rafik Dammak is the chair of the NCSG Policy committee, and he shares updates on calls for public comment regularly on this list.  To follow the public comments calls, go here

https://www.icann.org/public-comments#open-public.  The next policy committee meeting
 will be held just prior to the GNSO Council call; our ICANN support person Maryam Bakoshi will be sending out reminders for that meeting.
