[EC-NCSG] NCSG On-line Application form: Suggested Changes Re: Introduction NCSG membership form

[Robin Gross]

This is great, thank you.   I can add this text to website where we  
post the link to the online form, which for now is here:
     https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Membership

But we may want to create a main section to the NCSG website labeled  
"Join NCSG" or something more specific like that with higher  
visibility where we can go through the joining process in detail and  
include this link so applicants can always know where they are in the  
evaluation process and what the concerns are, if any.

There is a lot of room for improvement in this process and I know we  
all want that (and we have made significant progress in the last  
year).  After speaking with staff a couple days ago, I do think ICANN  
will provide some assistance, so I'm encouraged for the coming year  
and getting these technical, website, data management issues behind  
us so we can focus on more substantive matters and engaging and  
growing the membership.

Thanks,
Robin
