Subject: Welcoming new members to Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group

Dear all,

I am happy to welcome in the NCSG list our new members who were approved by
the NCSG EC.

They were successfully added to this mailing list and should able to read
this welcome message and follow the discussions from now on.

As NCSG Chair I'm here to support new and existing members in order to help
them be fully involved and participate in our policy discussion.
So, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

There are many opportunities to learn about policy development:
NCSG's monthly policy call, the quarterly GNSO Working Group newcomers
Webinar, and many other calls, mailing lists and web resources.

You can see currently open public comment periods at
https://www.icann.org/public-comments#open-public and latest comments from
NCSG at https://community.icann.org/x/pCTRAg .
You can also check the recordings of NCSG confcalls
https://community.icann.org/x/Ah7xAg .

While a lot discussion takes place on this list, there is lots of stuff in
our wikispace which is updated regularly, please take a look at
<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/NCSG-Wiki+Home or more
easy to remember ncsg.is. Browsing there will help you get an idea of what
we have done and are doing.

In particular if you want to know more about how to participate in working
groups and NCSG, please follow the announcements here and be in touch with
the Policy committee chair and me.

Regarding the mailing list:

Here is some important information  about your new subscription, which we
recommend that you preserve for future reference. Having this information
available will make it easier to recognize all the lists to which you are
subscribed and in case you want  to unsubscribe or temporary disable mail
delivery.

* The name of the list: NCSG-DISCUSS

* The LISTSERV host name: LISTSERV.SYR.EDU

The following email addresses are used for the specified purposes:

* To send an email to the list: [log in to unmask]

* To contact the list owner: [log in to unmask]

* To send commands to the LISTSERV server: [log in to unmask]

* To unsubscribe from the list:
[log in to unmask]

The following URLs may also be useful:

https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A0=NCSG-DISCUSS

* The list subscription page:
https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS

***********************************
* SETTING A SERVER-LEVEL PASSWORD *
***********************************

If you do not already have a password for the LISTSERV.SYR.EDU server, we
recommend that  you set one  now. A LISTSERV  password is linked  to your
subscribed address  (the email address which received this message) and is
valid for  all lists to which you are subscribed on the LISTSERV.SYR.EDU
server.  The same password can be used for email  commands as well  as for
access to  the web interface  for the lists to which you are subscribed.

To set your password for this server, visit:
https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?GETPW1=.

*****************************************
* INTERACTING WITH LISTSERV VIA THE WWW *
*****************************************

Subscription settings  and preferences  can be  set using  LISTSERV's web
interface. Once  you have set a  server password as explained  above, you
may log in and set your preferences at:
https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS.

Contributions  sent to  this  list are  automatically  archived. You  can
access the list archives at:
https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A0=NCSG-DISCUSS.

You may need to log in to view the archives.

**************************************
* INTERACTING WITH LISTSERV BY EMAIL *
**************************************

You may  leave the  list at  any time by  sending a  SIGNOFF NCSG-DISCUSS
command to:  [log in to unmask], or by  sending a blank  email to:
[log in to unmask]

You can  also tell  LISTSERV how you  want it to  confirm the  receipt of
messages that you send  to the list. To send yourself a  copy of your own
messages, send a SET NCSG-DISCUSS REPRO command.

Alternatively, to have LISTSERV send  you a short acknowledgement instead of
the entire  message, send  a  SET NCSG-DISCUSS  ACK NOREPRO  command.
Finally,  you  can turn  off  acknowledgements  completely with  the  SET
NCSG-DISCUSS NOACK NOREPRO command.

This  list is  available  in digest  form.  If you  wish  to receive  the
digested version  of the postings,  then issue a SET  NCSG-DISCUSS DIGEST
command.

You can also set the digest delivery option on the list subscription page
at: https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS.

Following  instructions from  the list  owner, your  subscription options
have been  set to "REPRO"  rather than  the usual LISTSERV  defaults. For
more information  about subscription  options, send a  QUERY NCSG-DISCUSS
command to [log in to unmask]

You may  also check your current  settings on the list  subscription page
at: https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS.

More information on the tools  and options available for list subscribers
may  be   found  in   the  official   L-Soft  online   documentation  at:
