Hi,

Thank you Kathy.

We need more writers like you submitting position papers for the NCSG 
and its constituencies to consider.

Sometimes we succeed in getting teams to write something for the NCSG 
Discuss list and the Policy Committee to consider, and a few people are 
trying to figure out how better to enable such efforts. In the meantime, 
the way we mostly get statements is for some inspired NCSG member to 
write one and the rest of us to discuss and to wordsmith.

So anytime any of you gets the urge to write either about a WG they are 
participating in when they have a comments call or any of the open 
community calls - they should write something and submit to the discuss 
list. Then either me or whoever is next elected to lead the Policy 
Committee next, will make sure they put into a process to get it 
submitted.  And of course you can always submit your own comments as an 
individual or organization.

Note, the earlier something is submitted the better chance it has of 
being processed properly.

There are always open comment periods.
They can alwasy be found at: www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment

PS. Since there are new members, and I have done very little lately to 
welcome new members and invite them into policy process:  an info-note I 
wrote last year on how to get involved can be found at:

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Guide+to+getting+started+in+NCSG

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Getting+Involved+in+Working+Groups

Like most things on our wiki they need updating, but i just re-read them 
and they seem passable.  (-: Can't be much better that that since no one 
has ever liked them)


Apologies for sending this note under the other topic Study ....  I am 
never sure that many people read the email with an administrivia subject 
lines.  If you got far enough to read that line, you are someone who 
might have read it anyway.

cheers.
