Dear NCSG members,


The NCSG Executive Committee has approved several new members' applications
and I would like to welcome the new members. They were successfully added
to this mailing list and so they are able to read this welcoming message
and follow the discussions. Other announcements related to the NCSG
election will be shared soon.

I would like to invite you all to wish NCSGs incoming members a warm
welcome and prove how much NCSG is an open and welcoming community:

As the NCSG chair, I am happy to provide help and assist our new members to
become involved and active participants in our stakeholder group and in
ICANN in general. They can also count on other members for onboarding and
support. Please feel free to reach me off-list 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 meetings 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. We will have the ICANN meeting in a few days in Prague
and everyone should be able to attend remotely. We will share details asap.

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