Dear all,
I am happy to welcome in the NCSG list our new members who were
approved by the NCSG EC.
They were successfully added to this mailing list and should able to read
this welcome message and follow the discussions from now on.
As NCSG Chair I'm here to support new and existing members in order to
help them be fully involved and participate in our policy discussion.
So, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
There are many opportunities to learn about policy development:
NCSG's monthly policy call, the quarterly GNSO Working Group newcomers
Webinar, and many other calls, mailing lists and web resources.
You can see currently open public comment periods at
https://www.icann.org/public-comments#open-public and latest comments

You can also check the recordings of NCSG confcalls

While a lot discussion takes place on this list, there is lots of stuff
in our wikispace which is updated regularly, please take a look at
<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/NCSG-Wiki+Home or

***********************************
* SETTING A SERVER-LEVEL PASSWORD *
***********************************
If you do not already have a password for the LISTSERV.SYR.EDU server, we
recommend that you set one now. A LISTSERV password is linked to your
subscribed address (the email address which received this message)
and is valid for all lists to which you are
subscribed on the LISTSERV.SYR.EDU server. The same password can be used
for email commands as well as for access to the web interface for the
lists to which you are subscribed.
To set your password for this server, visit:
https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?GETPW1=.
*****************************************
* INTERACTING WITH LISTSERV VIA THE WWW *
*****************************************
Subscription settings and preferences can be set using LISTSERV's web
interface. Once you have set a server password as explained above, you
may log in and set your preferences at:
https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS.
Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can
access the list archives at:
https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A0=NCSG-DISCUSS.
You may need to log in to view the archives.
**************************************
* INTERACTING WITH LISTSERV BY EMAIL *
**************************************
You may leave the list at any time by sending a SIGNOFF NCSG-DISCUSS
command to: [log in to unmask], or by sending a blank email to:
[log in to unmask]
You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it to confirm the receipt of
messages that you send to the list. To send yourself a copy of your own
messages, send a SET NCSG-DISCUSS REPRO command.
Alternatively, to have LISTSERV send you a short acknowledgement instead
of the entire message, send a SET NCSG-DISCUSS ACK NOREPRO command.
Finally, you can turn off acknowledgements completely with the SET
NCSG-DISCUSS NOACK NOREPRO command.
This list is available in digest form. If you wish to receive the
digested version of the postings, then issue a SET NCSG-DISCUSS DIGEST
command.
You can also set the digest delivery option on the list subscription page
at: https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS.
Following instructions from the list owner, your subscription options
have been set to "REPRO" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults. For
more information about subscription options, send a QUERY NCSG-DISCUSS
command to [log in to unmask]
You may also check your current settings on the list subscription page
at: https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS.
