I believe NCUC is becoming a better "place" where we can share our thoughts and ideas, and provide comments that while they can be interpreted as criticism are only intended to make of ICANN a better organization. Sometimes it seems that in other groups some particular subjects are taboo or there are things or issues that nobody over there wants to hear or have the guts to say. It would be interesting, like as you did when joining NCUC, to have a brief statement from the folks that join NCUC, so we get to know each other better (at least virtually) and the reasons why they joined NCUC. I'd be particularly interested to learn why some folks/organizations such as ALSs are jumping from at-large to NCUC. Welcome to the new members. Regards Jorge
