Hi

I will take share a paragraph of a post by Thato Mfikwe, ICANN57
fellow, from his report posted at ICANN fellows group.
I think it gives a great glimpse on how those newly engaged w/ NCSG
and NCUC see the work being done and steps to be taken forward.
This can also help those in outreach and capacity building efforts to
know what is going on newcomers eyes.

I have also seen a great report along similar lines from James Bidal,
from South Sudan.

Light edits/summaristaion made

Kudos to the ICANN57 newcomers

Fellowship

At first it seems like the work of ICANN was too technical but I
managed to find a suitable stakeholder group to focus on namely, the
NCUC which encompassed civil society and other non-commercial users
groups.

NCSG - NCUC

The NCUC is the main group I have been following since the beginning,
I could relate with a lot of discussions but in some, you just listen
and absorb the information so that you make informed inputs and
statements. The role I would like to play for NCUC is more around
outreach and projects that enable the DNS to infiltrate in developing
countries, especially the African region.
