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.
