Hi

Yes, welcome all new members and I will join Wisdom in a special
welcome to Bianca and Sala.
I see how hard their volunteer work is on the Civil Society front at
IGF and it's really great to share this space with you.

Reynaldo, Jorge and the other LAC members, so glad to so see you've
made it here with a little help of our document of the spanish version
of the form.

If you know any other LAC members wishing to join this lively space of
policy work, please direct them to

Our membership form

The translation to Spanish, to help fill it out
http://bit.ly/ncucjoines

(the url shortener has NCUC but the form is good for NCSG, NPOC and NCUC)

Best,

Renata
