Hi ,

thanks Avri for sharing this, it is definitely good initiative and
providing good materials for people to learn about policy development
process and understand how to participate in working groups. I encourage
our members to take time to check them and try later to find interesting
working group to join and to be involved.
as reminder , for NCSG, we put the info in wikispace and you can find
several information about policy development in this page,
https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Policy+Developmentincluding
a short guide on how to get involved on working group.

Best Regards,

Rafik
