[Ncsg-discuss] The Dot-ORG Impact Awards - applications being accepted now

[Caleb Ogundele]

Thank you Kathy for sharing this with the constituency. I fully endorse
that folks who have wonderful projects should take advantage of this and
apply if they fit the criteria.

The .ORG Impact Awards are a fantastic recognition of the incredible work
being done by mission-driven organizations around the world. For those of
us in the internet governance and noncommercial community, it is always
inspiring to see the breadth of impact that .ORG registrants are making
globally.

I encourage everyone on this list who knows of a deserving organization to
share this opportunity widely.

Best regards,
Caleb Ogundele
