Hi Avri, thanks for the remind and hope that many will take the opportunity to be more involvement. joining in 2008 my first WT I learned a lot about policy and the reality of governance and hopefully evolved since then. I will be glad also to help those who want to join some group (while I am far from to be like Avri in term of experience and knowledge :)) Best, Rafik 2013/2/17 Avri Doria <[log in to unmask]> > Hi, > > I have made a bunch of updates to: > > https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40928134 > > If you sent me email and I did not respond properly, please let me know. > > I have also added a bunch of references etc for any other members of NCSG > that wishes to be informed.
