A warm welcome to all our new members! I think/hope you will enjoy working
with us in the most diverse constituency of the GNSO. We have a lot of
interesting and challenging policy work coming up, so hopefully some of our
new people can get involved in topics they care about.

Looking forward to working with you, Maria
