[NCSG-PC] New Policy Committee / Next steps

[Oreoluwa Somolu Lesi]

Dear Rafik,

Thank you for raising this issue. I chime in with others who suggest a 
meeting to move this forward.

I also agree with getting a picture and good understanding of all the 
work that needs to be done.

I think that if we identify a clear strategic direction for NCSG, this 
can help to inform what comments we opt to contribute and thereby manage 
our energy and efforts.

Kind regards,
Ore
