[Rafik Dammak]

Dear NCSG members,


The NCSG Executive Committee has approved several new members' applications
and I would like to welcome them. We apologize for the delay to review the
applications and getting the new members to join us. Hopefully, we will be
able to review and add new members at a more steady pace in the next few
weeks. The new members were successfully added to this mailing list and so
able to read this welcoming and follow the discussions.

As the NCSG chair, I am happy to provide help and assist our new members to

ICANN in general. They can also count on other members for onboarding and
support. Please feel free to reach me offlist if you have any questions or
you want to have a chat for more clarification.

Tomslin Samme-Nlar is the Chair of the NCSG Policy Committee, and he will
be sharing updates on public comments and opportunities to participate in
working groups and policy discussions.

We held our discussion in this mailing list. In addition to that, we have
our monthly Policy call and sometimes webinars on specific issues, details
will be shared in the mailing list. We also have several sessions during
ICANN and everyone can join remotely. You will also see we have several
public consultations to respond to and volunteers drafting comments on
behalf of NCSG.

Feel free to reply to this thread and present yourself to other members and
ask any questions.
