Dear NCSG members,
ICANN76 is rapidly approaching.
Meanwhile the NCSG Executive Committee has managed to approve some
new member applications.
Please accept our apologies for the delay in the approval of the
membership requests, unfortunately we had a long list of duplicated
applications request backlog due to some significant issues with
the membership database software we are using. We are working hard on
permanently resolving the issues, but meanwhile we have taken
temporary measures to resolve the backlog, so expect more new
members soon as the rest of the backlog is cleared.
I would like to invite you all to help me wish NCSGs incoming members
a warm welcome.
Here is a list of the new members:
Individual members:
Annett Bonuke (NCSG + NCUC)
Thomas Hill (NCSG + NCUC)
Frank Anati (NCSG)
Lena Herbst (NCSG + NCUC)
Jessica Dadzie Asare (NCSG + NCUC)
Namra Naseer (NCSG + NCUC)
Internet Society Nigeria Chapter (NCSG + NPOC)
Jokkolabs Bamako (NCSG)
As the NCSG Chair, I am happy to provide any necessary help for our new
members to become fully engaged with our Stakeholder Group and
facilitate their onboarding into our community - and you will find many
members willing to do the same.
Tomslin Samme-Nlar is the Chair of the NCSG Policy Committee, and he
will be sharing updates on public comments, calls for different
positions across the ICANN community and other policy-related matters.
