Dear NCUC Members:

We very much need your help representing NCUC on GNSO policy development initiatives.   

Several very important ICANN policy issues (including GNSO restructuring efforts and registration abuse policies) currently have no participation from NCUC in the ICANN group working on the issue.  (See below for details.)  Without representation in the various GNSO working groups and drafting teams we cannot ensure that non-commercial interests are best protected in the policy development process at ICANN.  It does not matter if you have no previous experience with ICANN policy development processes -- none of us did the first time we volunteered to represent NCUC in one of these groups!  :-)

So please let me know if you are interested in participating in any of the below groups/teams that desperately need volunteers.  We also need "alternates" for most teams below and are not limited to a single person from the constituency in most groups.    It is not much work to participate in one policy development group, so, especially for those who have not yet volunteered, I hope you will consider doing so now.  You can also talk to the NCUC GNSO Councilors (Carlos, Mary and Bill) for more information about these groups/teams and how you can participate on any of them.

Thank you!!

Robin
