Congratulations to Kathy on appointment to PIR Board

[Kathy Kleiman]

Dear Caleb and all NCSG Members,

My heart is full with the many messages I received from you. Caleb and I 
were both seated on the ISOC Board (Caleb) and PIR Board (me) over the 
weekend - and finished ICANN77 with even more days of intensive meetings 
:-).

These are exciting days with much work to do. I sometimes feel that our 
work for a free and open Internet is a very hard road. Then I attend an 
ICANN meeting, and realize when we work together, the road is smoother. 
Together - NCSG, NCUC and NPOC - are committed to protect noncommercial 
expression online, and to create fair and balanced policies on the 
Internet for commercial and noncommercial activity alike. As Caleb 
writes, we seek transparency, accessibility and inclusion.

Great thanks to the organizers and leaders of tremendous sessions at 
ICANN77 - the NCSC Policy session, the NPOC/NCUC meeting, and NCUC 
Issues Forum kicking off our 20th Anniversary. Huge thanks to Julf, 
Tomslin, Caleb, Benjamin, Farzi, Milton, our NCSG Councilors, and 
everyone who organized and participated in these sessions!

Please post the summary of a session that was meaningful to you at 
ICANN77 - and please share a policy issue you would like to work on.

For, as Caleb noted, we are looking for impactful contributions. We all 
have the ability to make them.

Warmest regards,

Kathy
