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.

The chair of the NCSG Policy Committee will be sharing updates on public
comments and opportunities to participate in working groups and policy
discussions. As usual, we have several drafts in progress that will be
shared for review and input.

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.

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